Let’s be clear what this reverse Robin Hood is all about. For the past several years, Rex’s Show Me Institute has proposed ending the state income tax (which is a little progressive) and replacing it with the sales tax.
They know it won’t fly completely, but what God’s Own Party has done is start Missouri moving in that direction.
