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.

Harrison Hartley

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.

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

Critics say doing so will tank state revenue and reduce services.

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..
