Accusations of "Class Envy" have been made against supporters of Oregon's Measures 66 because it would raise taxes on only 3% of the most wealthy Oregonians. These accusations are usually followed by helpful suggestions that Oregon's budget shortfall could be (at least partially) solved if only state employees took cuts to their pay and benefits.
