No more income tax. No more property tax. No more excuses.
Oregon deserves an economy that works for everyone, not just the powerful few. Alexander Ziwahatan’s $115 billion economic plan will permanently eliminate property and income taxes while funding bold new solutions to Oregon’s most pressing problems—homelessness, addiction, public safety, childcare, aging infrastructure, and poverty.
For too long, we’ve been told we have to choose between compassion and solvency. That’s a false choice.
Under the Ziwahatan Plan, Oregon will transition to a future-powered economy driven by clean energy, artificial intelligence, innovation, and public-sector entrepreneurship. The result: a fully funded, tax-free economy that leaves no one behind.
Estimated Annual Revenue: $40–45 Billion
Oregon has the land, the light, and the opportunity to become the clean energy capital of the United States. The Solar City Oregon initiative will establish a state-owned solar energy infrastructure, with a massive solar farm built on public land, tribal partnerships, and commercial rooftops. Revenue will be generated by exporting excess energy to neighboring states and reinvesting profits into Oregon's economy. This project will create tens of thousands of new jobs, lower utility costs, and power every major public institution—from schools to government buildings—with clean, renewable electricity.
Estimated Annual Revenue: $30–35 Billion
Through a state-led innovation platform, Oregon will license public-sector AI technologies developed in sectors like healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and logistics. These tools will be built in partnership with Oregon's research institutions and ethical AI firms. Revenue will come from global licensing, SaaS distribution, and intellectual property royalties. The result? Oregon becomes a hub for socially responsible, people-first AI—funding itself by solving real-world problems for others.
Estimated Net Surplus: $3–5 Billion Annually
Hope Meadows are not shelters—they are self-sustaining residential recovery villages designed to end homelessness and drug addiction in every major Oregon city. Each community includes housing, addiction treatment, mental health care, vocational training, and small business zones. Residents must actively participate in treatment or education to remain in the program. Once operational, these campuses will generate revenue through tiered rent models, state healthcare partnerships, on-site business profits, and federal matching funds, creating long-term economic and social value.
Estimated Annual Revenue: $8–10 Billion
Oregon will launch the first state-run carbon credit trading platform in the country. Companies exceeding emissions limits will purchase credits through the Oregon Carbon Exchange, while green businesses and restoration projects will earn credits to sell. This will make Oregon a leader in environmental finance, while generating billions in revenue through transaction fees, credit sales, and enforcement fines. The exchange also helps fund forest restoration, wildfire resilience, and community solar projects.
Estimated Annual Revenue: $6–8 Billion
Oregon is home to some of the world's largest data centers, operated by tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta. These facilities consume vast amounts of power and water. Under this plan, Oregon will implement a Carbon & Resource Usage Impact Fee on all hyperscale data centers based on energy draw, water usage, and carbon output. The revenue will support sustainability projects and help offset environmental costs created by these global operators—without burdening Oregon families or small businesses.
Estimated Annual Revenue: $7–10 Billion
By creating the Oregon Patent & Innovation Registry, the state will collect royalties from all products, software, and services developed with state-supported resources. This mirrors the university “tech transfer” model, but on a statewide scale. Any company or individual that patents or licenses technology in Oregon—especially those receiving state grants, R&D support, or public land use—will pay a 1% royalty on commercial revenue. These funds will be reinvested in future innovation and public services.
Estimated Annual Revenue: $3–6 Billion
Oregon will become the global capital of rejuvenation, longevity research, and wellness tourism. This flagship hub will combine luxury health retreats, advanced regenerative medicine, cutting-edge biotech, and mental health sanctuaries—all regulated and run in partnership with top scientists, physicians, and global investors. The hub will attract international medical tourists, corporate wellness contracts, and aging-tech R&D, creating a stream of high-value, non-tax revenue that also elevates public health statewide.
$97–119 Billion Per Year
This plan isn’t built on fantasy—it’s built on functioning economic models, applied with bold leadership. Every dollar replaces an outdated tax. Every initiative invests in Oregon’s people. Together, these sectors will generate enough to eliminate property and income taxes while fully funding social programs, infrastructure, law enforcement, education, environmental restoration, and healthcare.
