This is an interactive webpage about all taxes and how politicians can talk about one tax and ignore another.
Lots of bar graphs!
There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can. .... The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

This is very interesting and informative. We live in Virginia, which has a tax on just about everything you can imagine, including the dreaded "personal property tax (PPT)," basically a sales tax you pay every year on the bluebook value of your car. If your car is expensive and only a year or two old, or if you have multiple cars, the PPT can be huge.
Lower cost of living and reasonable taxes are a couple of things that make MO an attractive place to live. Additionally, MO doesn't tax federal retirement income. Of course the downside is that many of the lower tax states are also red states and have crappy services and resources for many that are in need.
I'd happily trade some tax dollars for a more progressive state government.
The government is going to get their share one way or another.
Bill - The PPT on my car went UP the past year. I would have just as soon fixed up my 20-year-old car but Claudia wanted a new one (2019).
John - The gas tax should be 5 times as high as it is.
Kathy - They need the money to run the government. It's our job to watchdog them. I think you should run for alderman in Kirkwood. 😁
Bilbo. Here in Germany I have an oldtimer car (944) which means half taxes, half insurance premium and exemption from loudness and pollution laws.
Stu - THe difference in PP taxes on my old van vs the newer SUV was $100 vs $900.
Thank you, Mike
Cloudia - More statistics for you.
When politicians talk about taxes it is always about raising them. When things are going well, do we get a reduction? Hell no!
River - Yeah but tRUMP gave 2 trillion dollars to the corporations and billionaires! Doesn't that coun... bwahahahaha. Hell NO!
