Guest Column: KC needs earnings tax now more than ever - vote yes - Kansas City Business Journal
On April 6, voters will be asked to extend the Kansas City earnings tax ("e-tax") for an additional five-year period. The e-tax is our 1% earned income tax paid by all businesses and individuals who work in Kansas City, Missouri.
Notable cities that have an income tax:
ReplyDeleteBirmingham
Wilmington
Baltimore
Detroit
Newark
almost all of Ohio and Pennsylvania
To be fair NYC and San Francisco have an e tax but trust fund babies don't seem to mind.
With the exception of NYC and San Francisco almost every other city with an e-tax is a city in decline.
ReplyDeleteVote Yes on the Earnings Tax renewal, so we can keep spending tax money on entertainment districts, convention centers, convention hotels, parking garages for luxury condos and apartments, toy trains, stadiums and subsidize underperforming TIF's.
KCMO must include public handouts as a revenue source in the e-tax.
ReplyDelete5:02 you haven’t been paying attention apparently, New York and San Fran have gone to hell. People are flocking out of there as fast as possible so.....
ReplyDeleteDon’t be racist, vote NO on the E tax. It will help the homeless and create jobs.
ReplyDeleteState Sen. Greg Raze is someone we don't need anymore than we do the e-tax. Another damn democrapper.
ReplyDeleteYou can have your e tax if you get rid of all the criminal niggers.
ReplyDeleteIt passes 70/30 because this town is full of gullible hayseed rubes.
ReplyDelete5:01 et al: And yet no one forces you to live or work in Kansas City. Weird.
ReplyDeleteFAG ALERT!!!!!!!!! CHIMPY'S UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere is the quickest and easiest ways to avoid the earnings tax. Work and live in Johnson County or Wyandotte County. Easy as that! And you get to avoid commuting down town and paying those high parking fees. A two-fer!! And you will not be risking your life every day commuting with all of these Karens zipping around in their Toyota Rav 4s on the way to their jobs as "diversity/inclusion" HR representatives at Hallmark or some other big blue company.
