Replacing The Kansas City Earnings Tax

Yael says that in order to replace the Earnings Tax: "The sales tax would have to increase by almost 3.5 percentage points, to 11.5 percent.

Property taxes would have to be hiked by more than 110 percent."

On the plus side, outright rudeness to people would JoCo would be encouraged.

It might be worth it.

    We squandered away more than that on failing TIF projects. How much have we lost there? The Star supported most of them.

    So I say, shit the F up Yael. WE don't care what you think.

  4. I don't know where he gets those numbers. I'd like to. But if it keeps people and business in the city - that's what I care about. They tell me taxes are patriotic, except when it's not the "right" kind of tax.
