Dr. Aaron Hedlund of the White House Council of Economic Advisors Dismantles Every Amendment 5 Lie Being Aired on St. Louis Radio

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.
