The opponents of Missouri's Amendment 5 are spending big to lie to your face — and Marc Cox brought in the White House's own chief economist to take them apart point by point. Dr. Aaron Hedlund, Chief Economist for the White House Council of Economic Advisors and former Show-Me Institute contributor, joins the Marc Cox Morning Show one month out from the August 4th ballot to torch every misleading ad running against the income tax elimination measure. No, the sales tax will not automatically skyrocket to 15% — the legislature could already do that and never has. No, this does not strip taxpayers of protections — it actually adds constitutional revenue growth limits that trigger automatic income tax cuts. Yes, a Missouri family making $60,000 sees wages go up roughly $3,000 on top of keeping their income tax money. And for the retiree on a fixed income worried about sales tax creeping up — Dr. Hedlund points out that Social Security income tax exemptions would be constitutionally locked in, healthcare would become more affordable as Missouri attracts more providers, and nobody wants to retire in a state their kids and grandkids are fleeing for Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. Missouri has been bottom 10 in economic growth for 25 years. Amendment 5 is the off-ramp — and a yes vote on August 4th is the most consequential thing a Missouri conservative can do this election season.

9:05 – 9:22 (17mins) David Stokes, Director of Municipal Policy at the Show-Me Institute, @DavidCStokes @ShowMeShowMeInstitute.org to discuss: Route for bus rapid transit line gets key approval: You guys have discussed this story a lot with David in the past.The city's first dedicated bus lanes are a step closer to reality with a key endorsement on Wednesday. The board of the East-West Gateway Council of Governments unanimously approved the 11.5-mile route. That allows the city and the Bi-State Development Agency — which runs Metro Transit — to continue planning and begin engineering for the so-called bus rapid transit line. The route, called the Green Line, would link south St. Louis via Jefferson Avenue to downtown, then take Tucker Boulevard and North Florissant Avenue to the north side. Whether the line will ever be built will depend on winning federal grants needed to pay for the bulk of the cost, estimated at $360 million to $590 million. What if you eliminated personal property taxes and nobody noticed?There's been a lot of talk about eliminating personal property taxes, but the reality is that doing so would likely be revenue-neutral. Local governments could raise real property taxes to offset the loss, and even if a county acted unilaterally, it controls only about 5% of a typical tax bill, making the savings minimal without school district participation. 9:25 – 9:37 (12mins) Larry Conners Weekly: "Mr. Conner's Neighborhood @LarryConnersUSA See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
