## Resource

Missouri’s Amendment Five could reshape state finances by blocking income taxes when the state has surplus revenue—and forcing tax cuts if there’s a surplus. Supporters tout it as an economic boost for businesses and individuals, but critics warn it may shift the tax burden onto everyday workers. The amendment also includes a gradual tax reduction over time, raising concerns about funding essential services like schools and roads. It’s a classic showdown: tax cuts vs. public needs.
