Are $500 Tax Rebates on the Way?
One of the few bright spots of this year’s otherwise underwhelming legislative session was the legislature’s decision to send Missourians back some of their hard-earned tax dollars via income tax rebate. Now that the bill(s) have been sent to the governor for his signature, many taxpayers likely have questions about how the rebates will work.
What are they? Approved in House Bill (HB) 2090 with funding included in the budget, the rebates are being issued as non-refundable income tax credits for the 2021 tax year. Individual filers are eligible to receive a credit of up to $500, and couples that file jointly can receive up to $1,000.
Who will get them? There are two major criteria for determining who will receive the income tax rebate. First, the rebate is a non-refundable credit, which means recipients must have paid income taxes in 2021 to qualify to receive any rebate. Second, the legislature placed an income cap on the rebate. For individuals, the cap is $150,000, and for those filing jointly, the cap is $300,000. If you earned more than the cap in 2021, you will not qualify for the rebate.

‘Anything’s On The Table’: Missouri Legislature May Revisit Contraceptive Limits Post-Roe
[Listen] Recap of Session Clint Eastwood Style: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
By the time state lawmakers return to the Capitol next year, nearly all abortions could be illegal in Missouri. With a trigger ban already on the books that would go into effect if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, the GOP supermajority that controls the Missouri legislature is already mulling what types of policy changes they hope to pursue in a post-Roe world. Reproductive rights advocates worry the next fight could be over access to contraceptives, which a group of conservative state senators unsuccessfully pushed to limit for Medicaid recipients last year.
“There are some that I think are okay and some that I don’t believe in,” state Sen. Denny Hoskins, R-Warrensburg, said of contraceptives, “especially the morning after pill and things that come after conception. So I think anything’s on the table.”

Fleeing Dysfunctional America
America is sorting itself out by class and kind, back to blood and political pedigree. The demographic trend favors the so-called red states and the metro nodes inside these dominions. Austin, Reno, and Nashville beckon. Meanwhile, academic towns like Eugene, Chapel Hill, and Burlington draw gentry blues trying to escape crazy and crime but who are not in tune with Tulsa or Fargo.
For big-city emigrants, fatigue with misgovernment, ill-spent government largesse, and racial disorder are part of the picture. As much as they are seeking uncrowded real estate, runaways are searching for courts, authorities, teachers, and stable neighbors whom they can trust. Lockdowns and masks, power-juiced officials and public unions, looting and street violence, vagrants and junkies in ragged tents, and crime — lots of crime — have contributed to the flight, white and non-white.

There Are 2.5 Million Missing Jobs In Blue State America
For the better part of the past year and a half following national Covid shutdowns, we’ve reported the far superior jobs recovery in red states than in blue states. The April jobs numbers show the same pattern. If the blue states had the same rate of economic recovery that the red states have experienced, we estimate about 2.5 million more Americans would be working today.
