This is a tax shift not a tax elimination. These people are deceiving you. Read Amendment 5 for yourself NOT the highlights they CHOOSE to give you. The highlights sound wonderful; but they are deceiving. Govt will have free rein to tax goods & services.
#VoteNoOnAmendmenr5
DAY 5 OF 55: If Amendment 5 passes, Missouri politicians will be able to raise or add taxes on every good or service in your life. You're not getting a tax cut — you're getting taxes to death through a thousand tiny paper cuts.
Vote NO on Amendment 5 on Tuesday, August 4th.
@MissouriGOP Grok: Amendment 5 does include some offsets, prohibitions, and targeted limits, but it also explicitly removes or bypasses key existing constitutional limits on new or expanded taxes for a period, allowing lawmakers broader power to raise sales/use taxes without voter approval in
@MissouriGOP It does not immediately end income tax. It phases it out over an indefinite amount of time while we also pay increased sales tax.
What it does do is remove the cap on sales tax and broaden the amount of items that can be taxed.
Vote No on Amendment 5
It’s a tax SHIFT & allows our govt free rein over services that will be taxed. It will cripple Missourians. We need to abolish the unconstitutional income tax, but this isn’t that. Don’t let these people wrap it up in a pretty little 🎀 to sell you 💩.
