Well Timmy we all pay taxes. The alcoholics have a Federal, State and Local tax on liquor. Chain smokers pay the tobacco tax. Even the really down on their luck people pay sales taxes on food, clothes, etc. Childless people pay school taxes. You own property, you pay property taxes. We pay sales tax to the city on the water the city sells us. Even in the movie "Its a Mad, Mad, Mad World" Jonathan Winters says everyone pays taxes. Even the businessman who robs, cheats and steals pays taxes Lol ��

Hello all....

First, I'm trying to figure out what's Timmy's point is in the opening of this thread.
Second, Missouri's property taxes are pretty low compared to some other states (Illinois for one).
Third, don't forget if you own a vehicle you pay a personal property tax on that and those taxes help fund local 911, schools, county roads and bridges, etc....
Fourth, if you think property taxes are BS, wait for the results of what is being discussed in Jeff City now. The very brilliant leaders we elected think eliminating the state income tax will lead to more revenue. The only way revenues will increase is by increasing other taxes like property taxes, sales taxes, etc.
Fifth, taxes are not, in and of themselves, evil. I appreciate the one who truthfully said, they pay for everything we enjoy.

Have a great day.

...kinda funny how so many other states that have eliminated these tax burdens are doing so well huh?

Exactly. We live right next door to a world-class textbook case study on how governments operate.... K A N S A S. I remember when they were cutting taxes and telling everyone that revenue is going to skyrocket. And we all watched the exact opposite happen. It nearly bankrupted the state. It's past time to votes these idiots out of office.
