Political expediency has confused survival with success. From our cities to our small towns, I hear the same message: it’s time to COMPETE, it’s time to WIN. And it’s time to show the country what the Show-Me State is truly made of. If we are serious about building a foundation for growth, to compete rather than be complacent, then we must begin the work now: TO PHASE-OUT AND ELIMINATE MISSOURI’S INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX.

What US city has the largest gap between national perception and reality? My answer: Detroit Everyone seems to think it’s a run down hell hole w nothing but boarded up buildings. In reality: > Completely rejuvenated downtown w businesses, residential, restaurants, & nice sports venues – Ford Field (Lions), Comerica Park (Tigers), Little Caesars Arena (Pistons & Red Wings) > One of the best airports in the country – Delta hub w direct flights all over the world > Tons of history, culture, and classic architecture > Diversifying economy beyond auto into tech, medical, etc. > People are genuinely nice but also super tough & resilient Of course it’s not all unicorns and rainbows. While some parts of the city are making a comeback, others are being left behind. There’s crime, traffic and all the other things most big cities battle. But if Detroit has a national reputation of 1/10, in actuality I think it’s more like 7/10.

Always honoring Lamar Hunt’s legacy.
