Tax & Spending Reform

We believe that when government has more money than budgeted, citizens deserve to have their money refunded in the form of tax relief. Unfortunately, politicians always find new ways to spend our money instead.

Our Foundation supports the elimination of the State Income Tax as well as a complete reform of our tax code.

Citizens need to be informed about the effects of increased property taxes each time a local government decides that it wants additional revenues.

We support Missouri's Hancock Amendment and encourage future tax and spending limitations to protect against State and local government's unneeded spending.

Legislature Attempts to Weaken Initiative Rights

This session, the legislature is considering a variety of bills that will extremely restrict citizens' opportunity to take the lead on legislative issues through the initiative process.
Missourians' initiative rights are extremely important and must be protected. Initiatives are an important tool for citizens to use when the legislature refuses to take action on important issues, and we must ensure this tool remains a viable option for Missourians to use.
