EXCLUSIVE content for our blog community to consider today along with a bit of social media campaign signage shared by a Northland power broker lady . . . Take a look at this note from a KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY INSIDER who offers a great deal of information on the current earnings tax battle. Local financial hawks have a great many arguments against the tax but the reality is that Kansas City support for the levy is overwhelming in terms of organizations.
Here's the word . . .
Please see below the organizations that have already endorsed renewal . . .
It is a really good cross section of KC----business organizations, labor, neighborhood and community groups.
More to come.
Can anyone name a single group who has endorsed our opponents ?? Show-Me Institute doesn't count since that is also a Rex funded group.
Lastly, Rex has filed a campaign committee with the MEC last week called "Vote No on the E tax". It will be used to oppose renewal in both KC and St. Louis.

TKC, I've said it again and I've told your readers on many occasions.
ReplyDeleteWe will pass the earnings tax on April 5th.
You forgot some endorsements. You forgot NANAW: National Association of Niggers Against Working.
ReplyDeleteAnd PINNG - Poor Indigent Niggers Needing Gibmes.
And BMW - Black Men Working - though the local chapter doesn't have any members.
and SNAP - Smelly Niggers Against Progress. They're in favor of it.
ReplyDeleteRacists, please vote no and if you live in KC, then please leave.
ReplyDeleteOr if you stay please send in your address so if you need a police officer no one will respond since you are not willing for police, fire and ambulance protection. You are the free lunch crowd.
E tax supporters have many endorsements.
Opponents have only a billionaire from St. Louis trying to tell KC residents what is best for their own city.
Racist coons living in KC who think white people living outside of KC should pay for your handouts please grasp what a boycott s going to do to KC.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason it will pass is because people know we are totally screwed with out it.
ReplyDeleteIf I were running this campaign, I'd pay Tony to oppose it.
ReplyDeleteEverything he's against, the voters approve 4-1.
An incomplete list of folks who've got their hand in the till.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who commented that KC's tax base is shrinking is absolutely correct.
Which is why city hall should have been planning for years to get leaner with the budget; instead of spending like sailors on shore leave.
Sly will dance and grin, and the idiots will pass it again. They're no smarter now than they were the last go around.
The E Tax is city wide welfare. But it will pass, we all know it will. People of KC Proper are mostly fucking fools who would vote yes on the air they breathe. Fewer and fewer people will have jobs in KC. Fewer and fewer suburbanites will venture into KC. Why when shopping and eateries are better in the suburbs. Want to go to the Zoo? Why on Earth do you want to go to that neighborhood? Want to go to the Plaza? Why so you can be robbed in the parking lot by a black youth? Same for Westport. The stadiums? So far in the outskirts of town that's it's practically the burbs. KC will pass the E Tax but with fewer and fewer suburbanites going into the city do you get any reward for passing it?
ReplyDeleteSure it will pass. Most people that pay it don't get a vote.
ReplyDeleteDat settle it. I ain votin fo nothin dat raycis Hyde Park Neighborhood Association done endorsed. Dat group be so raycis dey still got slaves doin dey yardwork and housecleanin. Uh uh. No way.
ReplyDeleteOMG, what chance does it have if it can't secure Tony's support?
ReplyDeleteIt will pass LARGE.
Tonys KC, but another thing to snivel about.
Way too predictable.
It will pass I am sure and that is why my house is for sale now and I am moving. Had to go to JoCo to get a decent job and now want my kids in Blue Valley schools and to hell out of KSPS.
ReplyDeleteIf Democrats greedy union slobs are FOR it--
ReplyDeletetrue Americans are AGAINST it.
Sure the etax will pass.
ReplyDeleteBut KC will be bankrupt in 10 years.
Not exactly a great tradeoff.
7:12 has the best idea or I should say plan.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^ Too late for that plan. Blue Valley schools are shit, too,
ReplyDeleteWas born and raised in KC. Lived in South KC close to where the Tasso's Greek Restaurant is. In 1997? At the age of 26 I got married and and my wife got pregnant. We looked around KC to see if there were good homes to raise a family. All the homes were too high, too much of a money pit, in poor neighborhoods and pretty much urban waste lands. We looked at homes in Grain Valley and we saw good homes with two car garages, four bedrooms and three baths. Very quiet areas with big backyards. Moved there and haven't really been back since. Only time I really go into KC is to see a Royals game.
ReplyDeleteIf you say so 7:58... Just because you got beat up there one time doesn't mean it's the truth. I
ReplyDeleteBlue Valley schools might suck, but they are still better than KCPS.
ReplyDeleteNice list of takers. This maker votes "no".
ReplyDeleteJim Glover had an epic list of endorsenents too. Where is he? Back to civilian life. Who knows and nobody cares as long as he is no longer partly in charge of the asylum.
ReplyDeleteyou would think that with all that support they would actually have some yards to put yard signs in and not just by the side of the road.
ReplyDeleteMost groups won't appose the tax because they risk pissing off the power and money. To get anything done it takes men like Sinquefield who don't care.
ReplyDeleteCheck out how many groups or companies on that list are exempt and don't pay the earnings tax, Including the Chamber of Commerce which takes in millions annually!!! Only the poor working class pay!
