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!

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.
