People deserve to keep their earnings. Other states have successfully done without income tax.

We already have some of the poorest state services in the nation. Why would we try to strangle the main source of state revenue. It seems like Republicans can't think of any policies to help the people of Missouri other than cutting taxes again and again..

WHAT?!?!?! Did you just type that statement with any serious contemplation? I'll answer you plainly. IF YOU DO NOT PAY TAXES, YOU WILL NOT BE POOR. Get it? If you keep all of your money, you have more money!

Whose Missouri income tax plan is better?

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

Do you think Gov. Mike Kehoe is leading Missouri in the right direction?

Your question is way too generic. To a degree that that renders it pointless.

Kehoe is ok, and I mean just ok. Unfortunately, Missouri has now had two weak governors back-to-back.

Is he Tim Waltz level incompetence? No, but with a republican majority, he could do better. Listen to The Eagle every morning and Randy will give you all the details.

He rammed through legislation reversing laws enacted via the ballot box. This LBJ wannabe needs impeached or voted out into obscurity

Allowing gambling on sports, while ACL, relocation and retirement occur in that same instance sounds premeditated. Reversing voter decisions is communist! And, have car dealers started getting their commission on the property tax collections, yet?

Killing the rural public schools. Promoting the St. Louis County private school agenda. Where is the accountability for private schools supported with public money?

Governors tax policies are misguided. Capital Gains and income tax elimination will shift the tax burden to lower and middle income folks. Saying this is to attract new business is a weak argument.

He is screwing over the average Missourian to give himself and other rich people a tax break.

He's continued Missouri's race to the bottom with Texas and Florida when it comes to this culture war bull, his proposition to eliminate income tax is fake populist pandering, in reality it's a rug pull on the poor and a handout for the rich.

His tax plan is a blatant wealth transfer. A sales tax increase disproportionally harms lower income individuals.

Because he hasn't done anything to help people get affordable housing or access to healthcare. He takes money from big companies to build data centers.
