My wife's father and his second wife live in Portland, we flew up a couple of years ago to look around to see if that's where we wanted to go for retirement and so forth. One look at the income tax rate, and then property taxes was all it took for me to slam the door on that idea. The silliness about pumping your own gas was another. How can one deal with a government that intrusive?
