StlToday - New ads urge Missourians to help Kehoe cut state income taxquincunx wrote: ↑Nov 12, 2025So raise the state's portion of the sales tax to 16%? Start applying it to services? Apply it to gas and cigs?
https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/gov ... 5f636.htmlThe concept could mirror plans that have circulated in the GOP-controlled House and Senate in recent years that would rely on sales taxes on services to make up the financial hit.
Why do Missourians keep voting for legislators who want the most regressive taxes they can devise. The plan appears to be to tax the folks who need to buy the most staples of life - growing families. And end all progressive income tax and property tax - to benefit the rich. I guess you get what you vote for - and we vote for whatever the wealthy tell us to via expensive ad campaigns. Advertising and ballot candy works.JaneJacobsGhost wrote:Good luck to MoLeg. Republican turnout is going to suck in 2026 and the left and the center are furious with all the stupidity. These ham fisted attempts by the legislature are going nowhere

A potential issue with this is that every white color professional on the Missouri side of the KC metro runs for KS. Less of an issue here in St Louis. Top of mind over there.quincunx wrote:That'd put the tax cut/ tax increase line at about $309k, so maybe the progression should be steeper.

The break even would be at $102k. I think that's about the top 20% would get a tax increase
Keep in mind these brackets are after deductions. The standard deduction for 2025 is $15,750.
IL also has severe property tax at TX levels from its time as a more purple state. Not to mention the state voted down a progressive tax referendum. IL voters aren’t immune from dumb decisions.quincunx wrote:The top rate was 6% starting at $9k in 2015. Now it's 4.7% starting at $9,191. What do we have to show for this cut? The Gov today was complaining about stagnant population and job growth. It's not working.
Did all of the white professionals run from MO to KS from 2012 to 2016?
