Good on the people of Missouri for understanding this only benefits the wealthy.

Now in the grand tradition of Missouri, I'm looking forward to the Republican state legislature to pass this via a bill as is tradition just like when Right to Work was voted down.
Yup, nothing like thwarting the will of the people and the people continuing to vote in malignant idiots into office that run on thwarting the will of the people.
Never change Missouri.

Was honestly very confused how this could have performed quite so terribly until I read there was also a section that would've taken away the people's right to approval of sales tax hikes and that makes a lot more sense.

No income tax "works" in Florida because of the massive tourism with Orlando, snowbirds, and the Keys. Take your kids to Disney! Go have spring break in Miami!
Who in the everliving mind would want to willingly come to Missouri?

The Gateway Arch is pretty neat. I've been there once, the entire city smelled like literal shit.

It's also walking distance from the old court house where the Dredd Scott decision was made!

Nebraska resident here.
There is literally nothing here, our biggest city is omaha and that's shared custody.

Tldr it's income tax vs sales tax, and under the proposal they'd pay more with the expanded sales tax
