A need for tax relief

Missourians have been hurt by crime, hurt by failing schools, and hurt by gas prices…relief needs to come from somewhere.
Studies have shown that Missouri is one of the top states that is affected the most by gas price trends, meaning that when gas prices rise, Missourians are more affected fiscally by the percentage of gas taxes taken away, then other states are.

Then, if one is a resident of St. Louis, the earnings tax and income tax are added on to the plate. No wonder people in Missouri are driving less and not sending their children to better, more expensive schools; they don’t have any money.

Local politicians are painting the economy as one of the main issues in the upcoming year. What better way to help the economy fix itself than by taking away those earning and income taxes, and getting revenue elsewhere?
