Taxpayers Association of Oregon Foundation,
In 2025, NIKE co-founder Phil Knight pledged $2 billion to charity, ranking him as the nation’s #1 most charitable person.
The response form Oregon has been hostile.
This year, the Portland Association of Teachers, Global Labor Justice, and the University of Oregon Student Union called upon both NIKE and Phil Knight to pay a $2 billion dollar tax. The coalition of wide-eyed money grabbers has started a petition around this cause.
This year, the Portland March No Kings Rally, people waved pre-printed signs that read “No Billionaires” and “Down with Billionaires. We need socialism.”
