Comments on: Purgason Introduces Bill to End Income Taxes ***UPDATED*** http://www.franklincountypatriots.org/2010/03/purgason-introduces-bill-to-end-income-taxes/ Tue, 03 Jan 2012 11:08:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: 1776jedi http://www.franklincountypatriots.org/2010/03/purgason-introduces-bill-to-end-income-taxes/comment-page-1/#comment-1736 1776jedi Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:45:02 +0000 http://www.franklincountypatriots.org/?p=1149#comment-1736 A 'yes' vote will amend the Constitution of the State of Missouri to 7 eliminate individual and corporate income tax, and state sales and use tax and 8 to enact a single, revenue-neutral sales tax of five and eleven one-hundredths 9 percent on new purchases of goods and services, and to exempt property 10 purchased for business or investment from the sales tax, and to provide each 11 qualified family with a sales tax rebate to ensure no state sales tax is paid on 12 purchases up to the federal poverty level. And how are they going to rebate my sales tax if I'm poor? I'm guessing that the state will have to promulgate rules and regulations to track everyone's purchases. Uh, no thanks! Not to mention that "property purchased for business use" will not be subject to sales tax. The way this lay man interprets this is that Big business will get a pass on real estate and vehicles that average joes won't, while having to pay 5.11% more for everything while having the state effectively spy on every single purchase we make at retail businesses. In this form my vote will be a resounding NO! A ‘yes’ vote will amend the Constitution of the State of Missouri to
7 eliminate individual and corporate income tax, and state sales and use tax and
8 to enact a single, revenue-neutral sales tax of five and eleven one-hundredths
