The tax code is too complicated with too many loop holes. Everyone should pay their fair share, from +1B companies to the welfare queens sitting at home watching trial attorney TV commericals all day. Taxes need to be low to encourage business growth, with corresponding small gov spending. FJB

Adam

Agreed. The wealthier the business/person is, they need to pay more than the guy struggling from paycheck to paycheck

Max DeYoung

All taxes are passed on down to the customers, hurting the poorest people the most, and not affecting the businesses at all.

Increasing taxes always has negative results. It never hits its intended target. It will only impact people who are already struggling. Corporations do NOT pay taxes. Their customers do. It is ALWAYS passed on to the consumer.

Lida Vitt

They will put more people out of work with businesses looking for a way to save money. And it will affect income on the people. The Government is creating more inflation rather than decreasing inflation for their inflationary spending.

Max DeYoung

Only Socialists will bite the hand that feeds them.

Max DeYoung

This bill is Socialism 101. It will hurt everyone in America.

Max DeYoung

Success helps everyone, taxing success hurts everyone. Socialism 101.

these decisions should be made at a state level, not a federal level.

The “wealthy” do not pay taxes. A good business puts it expenses back onto the customers. We, the proles, pay taxes for the wealthy. Also, the “wealthy” don’t take salaries. The company the own provides for them, and they get tax breaks. If you make less than $100,000,000.00, you done.

It's very cool.

Bill Douglas

You engineering school laptop liberals and calculator communists need to be taken out back of the woodshed and given what you people deserve. Quit telling us there’s no money to fix the roads while endorsing and supporting Democrat pork spending like this for a liberal blue city and it’s nerd grads

This is so destructive to the environment. I want MU to close for good. MU RUINS MO!

Bill Douglas

Every single UM grad needs to have their degree revoked and tossed into prison for the rest of their lives. And take their laptops and fancy calculators and burn them in a bonfire. Teach these overanalytical computer geeks a lesson about what happens when you mess with regular folks with values.

Like most drivers, I have one hand holding my fast food, other hand holding my cell phone, a knee on the steering wheel, and rarely look up from my cell phone so I don't know if other drivers are so irresponsible to be driving distracted or not. I certainly don't drive distracted, that's bad. FJB

Faye Friedrich

Many time ppl are seen looking/using phone while driving crossing the line on the road or having to slam on their brakes so they don't hit the car in front of them.

Culture isn't legislated.
