Just because Gov Parson said MO is done does not mean that MO is done. My friend just died on Jan 28, 2002 of Covid. It is not over yet.

Still a 0.02% death rate for humans that means 99.98% chance of living unless you get a vexine and then life expectancy is going down for certain cohorts. The vexines are more dangerous than Covid.

Max DeYoung

The American Institute of Stress reports 120,000 people die every year as a direct result of work-related stress. And this is only work related stress. Financial stress is the leading cause of stress. Don't worry and live longer.

Max DeYoung

According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. My doctor says don't worry about everything and you will live longer and be happier.

New infections still remain relatively low and few people are taking precautions such as wearing masks.

What is “coronavirus?”

Lisa Gore

0.02% chance of dying from CV-19. While there are risks, the whole fear porn was dying of Covid. Even regular flu DR is lower than the main stream media says. side effects from the vaccines are worse than Covid side effects. Altering DNA #1 among them. Noone needs Covid/Flu vaxs not effective/unsafe

Debra Riffle

We did all the things we were told to do before, and it didn't stop Covid. Masks didn't help. Keeping kids out of school and closing down churches, etc., didn't help. Covid will be with us. We need to learn to live with it.

I bought a pound of ground chuck and a case of beer yesterday, at a large supermarket. Because of the large number of other patrons, it was considered a Covid related incident. However I survived, but the ground chuck went down.

Education for children is based on scheduling?

Latria Mcneal

I think it would make kids more willingly to attend 5 day work week is a lot on a working person as is the kids should get a extra day

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

Max

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....

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

Shawn Maupin

Because I believe taxation is theft!

Dennis Ganahl

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.

Slate Rogers

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

C Sims

I support doing away with all taxes

Max

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

Debbie A.

It is unconstitutional and theft

Bob Mahacek

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

Mike Roemerman

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.

Nancy Hooyman

I'm 70 and it takes too much money away from me.

Pam Ames

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…

Bill Douglas

Ban state employees from attending professional and college sports events. Also ban state employees from displaying college/university personalized license plates on their vehicles.

Max

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.

Steve Baumann

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.

nathaniel bock

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.

Will Mason

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.

Hayden Hamlin

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.

Max

Socialism is not the solution.

Max

Maybe some people should put more effort into working for a living?
