Raytown wants another one-half cent sales tax increase- reportedly "for public safety."
If this tax increase passes some parts of Raytown- by the city-subsidized new WalMart store on M-350- will see an almost 10% sales tax on purchases.
The city is trying to sell this increase to residents claiming "outsiders" will pay most of this tax.
Bullcrap!
Raytown residents- many of whom are on fixed incomes- will bear the brunt of a higher- nearly 10% sales tax- unreal and unjustified in this time of severe economic downturn.
Vote NO on tomorrow's sales tax increase in Raytown....

What is a "fixed income?" My income is fixed. I can't just go give myself a raise. What I can do, and what a lot of these whiner "fixed income" people could do, is get another job.
Maybe it's the idiot pollys who came up with this brilliant idea during a (depression)that should get another job.
