• “The Oregon Rebate is designed as an investment in the state's residents and local economies, providing rebates of approximately $1,600 every year to every Oregonian. Measure 118 recognizes that the biggest corporations are not paying their fair share in taxes and correctly uplifts the contributions of all Oregonians to the state's economy and success, and trusts them to make the best decisions for themselves, their families and communities. Measure 118 ensures that large corporations begin to pay their fair share by increasing the minimum corporate tax rate for companies after more than $25 million in-state revenue. Measure 118 levels the playing field between big corporations and local businesses, striving to create an economy that benefits everyone.” - Oregon Rebate 
  

• “It’s time these corporate giants and Koch-funded special interests opposing our campaign see the writing on the wall. The Oregon Rebate will help rural communities by giving back to working families who make corporate earnings possible. We’ve seen enough price gouging and greed-flation and are taking back our power. These cash-flushed companies can be good actors for once and give back to the consumers, workers, and communities who have made their extraordinary earnings possible.” - Dave Alba, State Coordinator, Progressive Democrats of America 
  

• "The Oregon Rebate is designed to help everyday Oregonians who are struggling to make ends meet. We recognize that when individuals and families thrive – not just CEOs and shareholders – our entire state prospers. At a time of record corporate profit, everyone can reap the benefits. By putting money directly into people's pockets, we can strengthen and support the people, families, neighborhoods, communities, and small businesses that make our economy strong."  - Antonio Gisbert, Oregon Rebate  
  

• “Today, the largest corporations doing business in Oregon pay less than 0.12% in taxes, that’s just plain wrong. Combine those cost savings with the record-breaking profits over the last few years and one thing is crystal clear: large corporations can and should pay more to carry their fair share of the tax burden and give workers breathing room. At its core, the Oregon Rebate is about valuing every Oregonian and investing in our shared future.” -  Lonnie Douglas, Oregon Rebate
  

• “Measure 118 is a gross receipts tax on businesses with more than $25 million in annual Oregon sales. In other words, it’s a tax on sales – not profits or income. That means businesses in Oregon would be forced to pay this new $6.8 Billion tax on the goods and services they provide, regardless of whether they make a large profit, make a small profit, or are losing money. Measure 118 would force hundreds of local businesses to raise their prices, cut jobs, or shut down completely. Measure 118 would add a costly new 3% tax on sales that could apply at every step of the supply chain in Oregon. By the time an Oregon product goes from raw materials to a manufacturer to a packaging company to a distributor and then to a retailer, it may have been taxed five times before it finally reaches the consumer – making it far more costly than a typical sales tax. By implementing the largest tax increase in Oregon history, Measure 118 would increase prices for everyday goods and services that Oregonians rely on – such as food, medicine, and electricity. Measure 118 would make local Oregon businesses less competitive with out-of-state companies, drive more jobs and revenue out of the state, and hurt our local economies. Measure 118 does not guarantee that revenues from its massive new tax will end up in the pockets of Oregonians. If Measure 118 passes, politicians in Salem could amend it with a simple majority vote and redirect the money anywhere they want.” - No On 118 

• “Despite being advertised as a tax on large out-of-state businesses, Oregon’s Measure 118 functions as a very high-rate sales tax on the goods and services Oregonians buy every day. Perhaps even more surprisingly, though, this tax designed to target large multinational enterprises will have an even worse effect on Oregon’s main street businesses.” - The Tax Foundation 
  

• “There’s no guarantee Oregonians will see this money. The way the measure was written, it means that the legislature can amend it and actually redistribute the money or reuse the money for other purposes without any accountability. I think when people go to noonmeasure118.com, read the facts, see that growing list of coalition members, they’re gonna understand, again, free money’s never free.  They’re going to pay for this largest tax increase in Oregon’s history. They’re going to pay for this tax on sales." -  Angela Wilhelms, President and CEO of Oregon Business and Industry 

• “It threatens our economic stability by driving up costs for businesses and consumers, leading to widespread job losses and higher prices for goods and services. This measure will result in severe cuts to essential public services, including education, public safety, and infrastructure. We cannot afford to gamble with Oregon’s future on unproven and risky policies.” -  Daniel Bonham, Oregon State Senator
