Need any more reasons for why Missouri needs the FairTax? Our current tax system drives jobs and trillions of dollars offshore, punishes workers, small businesses, investors, corporations, and seniors. Research supports eliminating the income tax. The statistics above need to be posted in every government office in this state as a reminded of the economic failure of our current tax system, the same system that is killing American prosperity.
What can the MO FairTax Bill sponsored by Ed Emery and passed through the House of Representatives last year do for Missouri?
-It eliminates the state's 6% tax on personal income
-It eliminates the state's 6.25% tax on corporate icome
-It lowers the economic hurdles for starting a new business
-It replaces the current MO sales tax of 4.225% by a 5.11% sales tax on NEW goods and services
-It does not tax purchases of used items
-It is revenue neutral for state and local commuities
-It effectively triples the tax base by collecting taxes from services, illegal aliens, and the
black market industry
-It makes Missouri a more attractive business location than competing states
Missouri must stop bleeding money and compliance man-hours into the broken income tax system. For more information go to www.MOFairTax.org and www.FairTax.org. or join Callaway Citizens for FairTax and work for a better future for our children.
