Show-Me Minute "Growth"
It’s hard to ignore an elephant in the room. But our leaders seem to be doing just that. Something’s wrong with Missouri’s economy. We are way behind most states in annual growth in goods and services. From 2001 to 2014, Missouri ranked 45th in GDP growth.
It’s an elephantine problem, but lawmakers keep ignoring it.
So how do we get Missouri moving again?
How about cutting income taxes? Lost revenue, you say? Well, if Missourians had more money to spend, that would mean more revenue for the state. And why not stop handing over our money in corporate welfare?
Missouri has dished out more than $5 Billion in corporate giveaways since 1990.
Maybe our leaders should just let the free market work…and stop ignoring the economic elephant in Missouri.
