It would be funded with a 4% annual lease fee on the value of privately owned land (and 1% for non-profit-owned land), which would give $2000 a year to every resident, including children. Half of children's dividends would be deposited in an Oregon College Savings Plan account. For your information, I'm attaching two brochures, a "Socialist" one and a "Capitalist" one. Thanks to Ms. Hayes for her advocacy on behalf of the poor. Sincerely, Jeff Strang, Chair Common Ground OR-WA 503-752-9494
