## Resource

Missouri voters face a pivotal choice: eliminate the state income tax and replace it with expanded sales taxes, potentially boosting the economy but risking a steep rise in everyday costs. Supporters cite tax-free states like Texas and Florida as models, proposing new digital service taxes to fill the revenue gap. Critics warn sales taxes would hit low- and middle-income families hardest, especially seniors on fixed incomes, and question whether vague exemptions will force rates up to 16%—a burden many can’t afford. With no clear safeguards, voters must decide whether to trust lawmakers to manage this sweeping tax overhaul without crushing everyday budgets.
