Carl Bearden on Missouri income tax elimination proposal

Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge talk with Carl Bearden, Executive Director of United for Missouri, about the proposal to eliminate Missouri’s state income tax. Bearden explains how the plan would phase out the tax over time, addresses concerns about the Hancock Amendment and long-term triggers, and discusses how shifting toward a broader sales tax base could work. The conversation also compares Missouri’s tax structure to states like Florida and examines why supporters want the change written into the state constitution.
