🇺🇸 Starting tonight, the Missouri State Capitol dome will shine red, white, and blue to celebrate Independence Day and America's 250th anniversary. 🇺🇸 The Fourth of July is a reminder of what brings us together as Americans. It's a time to celebrate our nation, our communities, and the freedoms we cherish. Whether you're enjoying a hometown parade, gathering with family, watching fireworks, or traveling to our capital city, we hope you'll join us in celebrating our nation's birthday.

Missouri's current tax code was built in the 1930s. HJR 173 & 174 is about letting Missourians have a say in modernizing our tax structure.

Missouri must stay competitive—and a modernized tax code is critical. Every year we wait, the gap between Missouri and competing states grows wider.

Eliminating our state income tax is about setting up Missouri communities for success in the decades to come. Growing Missouri’s economy through this phased income tax elimination will expand the overall tax base over time, which means more total revenue available for education, not less.

If we are serious about building a foundation for growth, to compete rather than be complacent, then we must begin the work now to phase out and eliminate Missouri's individual income tax. But there's a lot of misinformation out there, so we're setting the record straight about HJRs 173 and 174.
