When citizens approve legislative matters because the legislature is not doing their jobs, They need to accept it. The legislature main purpose is to enact laws & programs their citizens want. This is not happening & we need to sue them so that they are forced to comply. ACLU is the answer.

Citizens voted for the expansion. The legislature should carry out the will of the people.

It is a waste of taxpayers money, I know of two that get it and don't deserve it,they can work and make good money and pay for their insurance but it is easier to let the State and federal gov. pay for it. Their is 50% that don't belong on it.

We have witnessed what happened in Kansas with such a plan and now they are doing it to Missouri.

Income tax is necessary in a state where people care about each...it funds necessary programs, like education. Our state lags behind most states when it comes to funding education and that hurts our future. To replace income tax with sales tax on services would be more expensive for everyone.

Income tax is socially responsible (the poor pay none or little; those who make more pay more) and dependably funds necessary services. If it is eliminated, sales taxes will SKYROCKET and we will ALL pay more in the long run, including those who can least afford it.
