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.

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.

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 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.

I'm type 1 diabetic and I need to buy candy to keep myself from dying from hypoglycemia episodes.

Just because a person is less fortunate, doesn't mean they must live in misery at all times. The poor can enjoy life too. If they choose to buy themselves or their family a little treat, they are as entitled to do that as anyone else.

If you look at the cost of less processed goods, you’ll see that you get much less bang for your buck. You spend more and get less whe. You eliminated the processed goods. Rather than hurt the consumer, the focus should be on making these processed foods healthier. This makes sense to parents.

I don't have the right to decide what poor people get to eat. Just because we give poor people money for food doesn't give us the right to take away their freedom of choice. They decide what to put into their bodies, not us. It's their bodies, their choice!!!

The poor/lower middle class aren't the problem, it's the billionaires. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down (Voodoo Economics) the bottom 90% of the population held about a third of the wealth and the 0.7% about 7% .... fast forward to today and the top 0.7% have MORE wealth than the bottom 90%!

Why do we need to control people in our society? Sometimes the only way a child can get a little treat is if their parents can use a little bit of the benefits to buy something a little special.

No one should be banning sweets from SNAP or any other program. This is just a way of controlling people and what is available for them to eat. What is next? MILK?

That is the only time some kids get a little snack.

Because it directly affects disabled and vulnerable populations, people with arfid, People who are trying to buy birthday cakes for their children, people who have disabilities who cannot easily make foods, people who have autism who have safe foods, people with diabetes. It's not right to police us

No because there are a lot of people that need those sodas those candies whatever for reasons like oh I don't know to raise their blood sugar up when it gets super low. It's such a misconception and some more false narrative bullshit by these dumbass Republicans like Mike kehoe and Donald Trump.

Why police people when corporations get away with murder?

1. SNAP does not provide enough funds to allow them to buy healthier foods. 2. Food deserts do not have enough options for people to chose healthy foods. 3. It's no one's business what others eat. Mind your own household.

I feel the same way towards this as vegetarianism. By all means we should worry about what people eat after we feed more people. The point of the program is to eliminate its necessity not limit its accessibility

The government has no business telling people what they can and can't eat. Simple

do the 61% yes voters refrain from sugary products?? if so remove all the products they say that shouldn't be available to snap completely from the market. or only the rich deserve....?

I think these kind of things put an undue burden on grocers. They cost more than they are worth

What is this nazi germany? Whats next? Hot dogs? Cheerios? Salt? Poor kids deserve birthday cake too. People should be treated fairly snap or no snap. If sugar is so bad then have it removed from all food. Gezzzz fdt
