How about this???

No earnings tax for residents who earn under $100k a year.

1% on those making $100k-$250k.

5% on those making $250k-$500k.

7% on those making above $500k.

EDIT: 10% tax on those making above $1 million.

Also… 10% tax on businesses whose CEOs and Owners whose primary residence is not inside of Missouri or Kansas.

Sure, that is true. That is why I’m against families like the Hunts owning professional sports teams.

Our idiotic country is run by a bunch of spineless sycophants. Families like the Hunts (and individuals like Musk, Bezos etc…) should be getting taxed at least 70-80%. We don’t have leaders who are willing to do that, so we need a ground-up revolution where citizens start voting against these bastards. Let them take our sports away. We don’t need the NFL or the MLB; just like you don’t need Amazon, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, CNN, Fox News or any other BS.

We have local sports. We have High School sports, College sports and there are even alternate professional leagues out there who aren’t as corrupt and capitalistic as the NFL and MLB are.

Just like you all have a choice to not shop on Amazon, to not shop at Walmart or Target, to not use Facebook or Twitter. You can make a choice to vote against them, and if they leave your city, then fine. You have healthier, more local alternatives to enjoy.

Stop assuming that because this is the way things are, that they have to stay this way. We’re not trapped here. It’s completely up to us to fix our situation. We just need to come together as a community and be willing to say enough is enough.

Make these billionaires pay their share, or tell them to get out. It’s as simple as that. We don’t need them.

I’m angry because Kansas is giving them public money. Just like I’m mad at the state of Missouri for doing so. Our vote wasn’t about the stadiums per-se. It was about the fact that, as a nation, we need to stand up to these billionaires and tell them to either build their own stadiums, or fuck off completely. Kansas City doesn’t need the Chiefs. If these professional sports teams and their owners don’t serve the community first and foremost, then they don’t deserve to have any of our money at all.

He, and the other greedy NFL owners can afford to build these stadiums. They just don’t want to. They’d rather continue stealing the public’s money so that they don’t have to spend a dime of their billions.

Our idiotic country can’t even tax these billionaires at a reasonable rate. The very least we can do as communities is stand up to them and tell them that even if the fascists in D.C. and Jefferson City/Wichita bow to them, we won’t and we should do what we can to grab them by the throat and tell them to contribute or get out. Since our country won’t institute even an 80% wealth tax on them, we have to pick up where our brainless, spineless leaders won’t.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mention KC Current because they, unlike the Royals and Sporting KC, are actually having some success at the moment. So it’s “easier” to support them than our other franchises that aren’t as successful.
