Tax Time?
I thought that some of the stimulus money that Congress passed was to go to the individual states to ease some of their financial problems. Did we get any? Did we already spend it all? Or is the economy so bad in the Show-Me State that we are that far in the hole.
This state needs a major income tax hike on the wealthiest until we can get out of this hole. It could be a sunset tax say for five years. If I'm not mistaken the highest tax rate on income in Missouri is something like six percent.
If lower taxes create jobs, how come we're in such a hole? How come the unemployment rate is still so high? Maybe lower taxes do not yield the results that the Republicans have promised Americans all these years. Maybe lower taxes on the rich is just that, lower taxes on the rich and more taxes on the rest of us.
Just wondering.
