Oregon, which is unusual in that it doesn't have a sales tax, just gave some of the income tax money it collects back to the taxpayers.

Tax rebate check time for Oregon
PORTLAND, Ore. - Just in time for Christmas, Oregon taxpayers have gotten some extra spending money from an unlikely Santa Claus: their state government.
hecks have arrived in mailboxes all over the state, thanks to an only-in-Oregon law that requires rebates to taxpayers when income tax collections top projections by more than 2 percent.
All told, the state has doled out $1.1 billion in rebates.

1.1 billion returned to the taxpayers! Wow! Hey, feds, take a look at little Oregon. Maybe you can get a lesson in real fiscal conservatism.
