TKC BREAKING NEWS !!! KANSAS CITY RUSHES E-TAX RENEWAL VOTE!!!

Kansas City is desperate for cash and pandemic harsh times seem to have inspired 12th & Oak to hurry up and secure this town's biggest funding source without seeking/enduring very much conversation among voters. 

As always, first word goes to BAD-ASS TKC TIPSTERS who found this not-so-fun fact and sent it our way . . .

The next Kansas City Earnings Tax vote has been proposed ASAP by Mayor Quinton Lucas . . . Tuesday, April 6, 2021, a question of whether to continue Kansas City's current one-percent earnings tax for five years; directing the City Clerk to provide notice of the election; and recognizing an accelerated effective date.

Perspective that sums up the situation perfectly . . .

"City hall doesn't want any discussion on the earnings tax. Many people want some restrictions on what it can be used for. No more convention hotels and entertainment district funding from the earnings tax could be a start. Others only want it used for essential services. City hall knows everyone is focused on the current general election, this doesn't have to be placed on the ballot until the end January 2021."

To wit . . .

MAYOR Q IS RAMMING HOME THE E-TAX QUICKLY AMID RISING LOCAL FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AS COVID-19 WORSENS!!!

We don't blame him for this move given the dire circumstances confronting the 12th & Oak budget. 

But critics of this tactic are absolutely correct . . . The rush to secure more cash prevents conversation about how these funds will be used going forward.

To be fair, the e-tax always wins by a wide margin and it basically serves as a way for KCMO to stick it to JoCo commuters. However, now that telecommuting might save a few lucky souls from paying city hall, this "re-up" is even more important and crucial to this town's survival.

      Not personal, just business.

      They're probably making a huge windfall from tax incentives.

    2. The earnings tax accounts for more than 40% of KC's revenue. There is no other option but to secure it quickly.

      Many also realize that it's be best way to charge Johnson County for all of the money that they don't spend in KC but save by using our amenities.

      Delete
    3. 6:53, ddog, for darn sure jococomos aren't using the amenities they aren't paying for. The top takers of tax bux are kcps, kcpd, kcfd. Amount going to supposed street repair is a fraction of a fraction of a percent which is accounted for by the gas tax since most of those commuters fill up over here anyway. So no, the etax is just a grift on defenseless Johnson Countyites. But they're mostly libs now, so tax away. They are delighted and happy to pay juice to kc. Makes em feel woke.

    4. Bitch please. I DO NOT use any of KCMO's so called "amenities" when I worked Downtown pre-pandemic. I can't wait to get a 9 month refund on my Welfare Tax next year.

  2. The city lets me take my 1% down to 18th and Vine and set the pile of money on fire.

    We've agreed that it just cuts out the middleman that way.

  3. @6:53am
    Of course, the "amenities" in KCMO are provided by foundations, individuals, and corporations, NOT by the KCMO city government.
    What the local government DOES provide are crappy streets, poor public safety, sky-high sales taxes, and a general lack of the most basic public services.
    Your comment encourages area residents who don't live in KCMO to make voluntary donations to the organizations that provide those amenities.
    Which is a whole different and certainly commendable recommendation.

  4. Didn’t we just vote this in last year? You know, the big push to save kcpd? If they’re good for five years then why are we voting on it every year?

    Sounds like it’s all about changing what it’s for more than anything else, last year it went to heroes and this year it goes to developers and next year......

  7. Pay 1% earnings tax so you can get mugged in KC on your way into work.


    If you try to protect yourself the Prosecuting Attorney will file charges against you not the thug.

    Mayor Lucas, County Executive Frank White and the black city council hate white people so why support their corruption and racism.

    Funny that Frank White lives in a white neighborhood but is always talking about how racist white people are. Really Frank, then why do you want to live amongst us? Maybe because we are civilized ?

    Best to work outside of Kansas City and save the 1% and a potential assault.

    1. His whole life he lived in the urban area of Kansas City. He even lived in Kansas City and raced his family even though his daughters went to a Catholic School by O'Hara High School.. once he became an executive much like when Cleaver became mayor he moved his family out of the hood at into a safe suburb. Cleaver went off Gregory and Blue Ridge so his children would not have to go to the Kansas City Missouri school district. They're all hypocrites

  11. Get ready Kansas City, much like Mir Lightfoot in Chicago she too is running out of money to run her City. She is already talked about increasing property taxes up to 30% also going to make all non-union employees furlough for at least a week then talking about laying off over 300 city workers. She's going to cut city services also. This is what's coming Kansas City much like winter you're not going to be able to stop it

  12. Kansas City will pass the E-tax so the best thing to do is, businesses should move over to JOCO or somewhere else in Jackson county outside of the city limit.

  13. There are not many cities that charge earnings tax.
    St. Louis and KC are 2 of few in the nation.

    You would think with the windfall they would prosper.
    Quite the opposite and looking for more.

    Not one entity has ever taxed themselves ton prosperity.

    Lower taxes and they will come. That is why the USA had the lowest unemployment ever with corporate tax cut. More money raised by companies to invest.

    As long as Dems are elected and adhere to tax and spend- results are as predictable as Hunter Biden looking in a mirror and seeing a scumbag.

  15. Biden - Harris presidency will slap a massive tax on gasoline driving the price to $5 or more per gallon to fund the "green new deal".

    Talk about a regressive tax as $5 a gallon or more will impact the working class workers more than anyone regardless of color.

  16. ^^ Democrat Party wants to destroy American oil industry.

    Remember when OPEC drove gas prices up to $4 a gallon or worse yet, cut off all oil exports that destroyed the U.S. and Europe economies in the 1970's.

    Now that the United States is oil independent we are only paying $1.89 or less per gallon.

    Makes a big difference in the family budget to pay less than $2 a gallon for gas.

    However, the Marxist Democrats want to tax the hell out of gas, end fracking and oil exploration.

    This impacts everyone's home utility costs for heating and electricity.

    Don't worry fans the new Mayor that replaces the recalled Lucas won't allow the E-Tax to continue.

    The new Mayor will put in place a 25% tax on all welfare money handed out in the city by making the freeloaders start putting something into the pot the rob from all the time.

  20. Don't let KC take your money. Remember, the earnings tax only applies to days you work in Kansas City. Live in Overland Park? Have you been off work since March? Guess what? You only owe the tax through 2020 for the days you worked in KC through March. Keep track. By the way, weekends don't count. I have only 19 days of E-Tax payments to make so far in 2020.

  21. The E-tax was created to hire more cops decades ago. Now that fat slob Katherine Shields wants to cut 80 million dollars from the cops. We should all vote no. Fuck the defund KCPD movement that the city council is complicit in. The real tax payers should all vote to defund KC. #DefundKC

  24. ^^^That may not be true. If you work from home in OPKS and your employer is in KCMO, the city will contend that your work product is complete only when the employer accepts it, in KCMO, and that therefore you owe the tax.

    Ultimately I expect this issue to be resolve in court.

    ReplyDelete
  25. In economic terms it's not a tax, it's a penalty imposed for living or working in KCMO. The city is in a pinch after driving out much of the tax base with its leftist liberal policies. The city politicians, all Democrats, still have to provide for their impecunious and improvident voting base but have limited ways to do it. Soaking people who provide value to give to people who provide none is about all they have left.

  30. Does the E-tax properly tax the many hundreds of millions of dollars the DST Systems Inc executives made through their stock options awards? Some of the long-term executives actually over the period 1979 to 2005 made over ONE BILLION DOLLARS on awarded stock options given to them by DST's compensation board. Did these executives pay 1% of that to the city? I think not!

    I should clarify - that means some INDIVIDUALS (not the total group of executives) received over a billion in value when they cashed out, sold, or even just held the stock.

    ABC Anchor Muir who is also a Trump hater just came out of the closet.

  46. 10:39, if it isn't "earnings" as defined, it is not subject to the earnings tax. Earnings are compensation paid for personal services. In the case of stock options, the value at the time the option is awarded probably is subject to the earnings tax. The increase (assuming there is one) in value at time of exercise would not be subject to the earnings tax, because it was not given in exchange for services. Of course if the stock is not sold or sold at a loss, there would be no tax of any kind.

    Admit it, you are green with envy.

  68. For the record:
    There are a dizzying amount of City Earnings tax but what makes KC’s so unique is that you merely have to live in KC to be taxed.
    Live or work in KC and you are taxes regardless of income.

    Court battles will re raged at some point where KC tries to collect on those who home based elsewhere during the virus that used to work in the city.

    If the city loses.. and it should... look for class-action lawsuits getting back pay for years on end.

    This will force the city to (you guessed it) raise taxes yet again... water bills, trash bills, taxes on eateries reaching 20%. Imagine Mayor 10-10-10 totally bankrupt and then thinking gentrification is ok.

    Vote Republicans in and let’s make KC proud and have leaders that don’t just kowtow to protesters.
