We need to streamline government, make it more efficient and have lower taxes to attract more residents as well as businesses to the state.

This is the #1 tax cut that will help Grow Missouri. Eliminating State Income Tax will attract Business, Create Jobs and increase our population. This also exclusively benefits Missourians.

The citizens of Missouri are taxed enough, we deserve to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor.Next stop should be phasing out personal property taxes, sales tax, etc, etc…

Income tax is unconstitutional when all other taxes are placed on top of it.

It's time to position Missouri for growth. We need to attract business and population growth not more stagnation. Taxes need to be affordable based on what people can pay, not what government wants to spend. Government needs to budget just like families.

I am in favor of a state income tax cap of 3 percent and eliminating the personal property tax completely.

The harder that people work, the more taxes they pay. That's wrong. The people that won't work should pay the most taxes.

If phasing out taxes, phases out Socialism, then it's a great idea.

We eliminated capital gains tax last year and now our target is income tax? I feel we should get more productive spending and figure out the position of our tax burden before we think about eliminating income tax. It feels like Gov. Kehoe is using this as political points.

We all need to be paying our fair share. There are other questionable taxes to be looked into and removed. Along with tax cuts, cuts to the bureaucracy as well.

The tax we need to eliminate or change is personal property tax on vehicles, tractors, trailers, etc. There should be no taxes paid on anything an individual has owned longer than ten years.

Sales taxes are paid by the poor. Income taxes favor the poor. Unless a refund of sales taxes is an option, income taxes are cheaper for low income people. And a sales tax refund is probably just as complex as filing income taxes. Either way the government is getting our money.

If it will raise local taxes the lower income families will notice it more,because they are already struggling to make ends meet. They typically get a refund back from the state taxes they pay in year around.

Missouri barely pays for WIC, SNAP, Healthcare, and education as is. The Trump Admin passed a bill that will cancel more funding to states for these. Who's going to replace the main source of revenue? The billionaire class? Absolutely not. Our state only offers cheap living; this will raise prices.

We already have a military presence in Greenland. Denmark is a NATO ally. Trump should NOT be threatening the European balance or the time-tested established order. This has ramifications far beyond Trump's ego.
