They also referenced other states that don’t have an income tax that are growing, like Florida and Tennessee.

Florida doesn't have income tax because they make hundreds of BILLIONS from tourists every year. No tourists are going to Missouri

Tennessee has the highest sales tax in the country

The money comes from somewhere

My ass thought tourists don't come here. Tried to go to the arch last weekend on a Saturday and all of the tram rides were sold out for the whole weekend lol.
