We buy a car and then we pay 7.825% sales tax, which on a 22000.00 car is 1721.00 plus the price of plates, I totally understand sales tax. but then here comes December 31, Now we have to pay Personal Property tax on that vehicle, well that first year in Missouri will run you about 725.00 on that vehicle, and the second year about 500.00.
So if a husband and wife have newer cars, they could be paying out upwards to 1200.00 a year on this, then if they own any boats, motorcycles, trailers, ect. its even More, I know alot of people that buy older cars instead of Brand new ones just because of the personal property tax in Missouri and other states, but states like Nevada and Kentucky and a few others have no personal property tax, eliminate this and things would improve,
And we wont even bring up the subject of States without Personal Income Tax.
This is a older list, its still pretty correct.

"I ought to be able to consult and seek advice from whomever I wish," he said.
Well I think its time we give this flake the Boot, If he needs to consult the Trailer park Queen to run the city, then he is obviously not mentally able to do his job.
This guy is going to go down in history as being the Worst mayor in the world, Worse than even Marion Barry, His wife is going to cost him his job and she is going to cost the city a small fortune,
The city should counter sue for breech of contract, and fine him for conducting business in a residental area,
The city council voted andnow he wants to go against that, I guess he doesnt understand the rules. If he worked at Walmart, he would be fired for disobeying an order, so why is he still here ? its time for that recall election, it might cost money but it will be cheaper in the long run, No resonable Judge would side with this idiot.

SO what happens when a city council person leaves city hall and gets in an accident on the way to the Funks home ? is the City liable since these people are on the clock ???
Sounds like more liability for the citizens OF KCMO,
And what if Gloria is less of a house keeper than she is at keeping her apperance up ? does the council members really want to sit in a filthy stinky home for hours at a time because the mayor is affraid to tell his wife to keep away from his work ?
Well, one thing for sure, It doesnt matter who runs against him, he will be gone first chance the citizens have to get rid of him,
Mr. Funkhouser, you really let the City down, And Gloria whats your name, Shame on you, for taking advantage of a man you knew was to weak to stand up to his wife.

Someone is lying. According to Obama's Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as the Democratic candidate for president claims. His grandmother bragged that her grandson is about to be President of the United States and is so proud because she was present DURING HIS BIRTH IN KENYA, in the delivery room. -This, according to several news sites and Pennsylvania attorney Philip J. Berg (see video below) who is, surprisingly, a life long democrat himself. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, and he has an impressive background in his activities as a democrat, but his support for the party seemingly stops when it comes to his trust in Barack Hussein Obama.
Many U.S. voters are suspicious of the Democratic candidate's past, and Berg filed a lawsuit to force Barack Hussein Obama to produce a certified copy of his original birth certificate to prove that he can run for the office of President of the United States. However, he is being fought. The DNC On Sept. 24 filed a motion to dismiss the Berg action. Why? What is there to hide? Why not produce the original birth certificate and be done with all the suspicions against Barack Hussein Obama?
A few months back, a birth certificate WAS posted on the internet which shows that Obama was born in Hawaii. Yet some say this birth certificate is a forgery and again, his grandmother states that she was present at the birth, in Kenya. So what is the truth?
One explanation is that Obama's mother Ann Dunham, flew to Kenya in 1961 with Obama's father to meet his family. According to
some news reports, Ann Dunham, was not accepted well by her husband's family because she was white:
"Obama's family did not take to Stanley Ann Dunham Obama very well, because she was white, according to Sarah Obama. Shortly after she arrived in Kenya Stanley Ann decided to return to Hawaii because she later said, she did not like how Muslim men treated their wives in Kenya. However, because she was near term the airline would not let her fly until after the birth of her baby. Obama's grandmother said the baby—Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.—was born in Kenya and that shortly after he was born, Stanley Ann returned to Hawaii."
However, by the time she wanted to leave Kenya, it was during the late stages of her pregnancy. She was not able to board a plane because the airlines wouldn't allow women so close to birth to fly. It is instead believed, that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya as his grandmother apparently stated. Then, after he was born, his mother returned with him to Hawaii where his birth was REGISTERED on or about August 8th, 1961, in the public records office in Hawaii.
There is also a discrepancy in what hospital Barack Hussein Obama was born in, even if he was born in Hawaii. Reports by his own sister in two separate interviews state that he was born at
two different hospitals-- Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu.
The
Times Herald even reports: "the senator's grandmother, brother and sister, who live in Kenya, believe they were present during Obama's birth in the African country." Here, the Times Herald uses the word that his family 'believe' he was born in Kenya (perhaps to avoid possible law suits by Obama's Truth Squad?).

CBS DIDN'T STOP HIM ...THIS IS GREAT! Good for him!!! Surprised CBS let him get away with this even though he's right! Right on, Andy Rooney ! Andy Rooney said on '60 Minutes' a few weeks back: I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game. I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING, MARTHA BURKE ? I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability. I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the above lines. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations. I don't hate the rich; I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them. I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building. It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say 'NO!' I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries! I am sick of 'Political Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be 'African-Americans'? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else. And if you don't like my point of view, tough ...
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having 'In God We Trust' on our money and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to BE QUIET!!!

In a nutshell heres the problem, Taxpayers must pay for those who have broke the law to get into this country, their is 47Million Unisured prople in America,, 10 MILLION or more are NOT Americans, So why should they get Insurance ???????????
And why should we the WORKING folks pay for someone to have insurance the refuses to care about themselves, The Obeast, and The Smokers, The Alcoholics and The Drug Users ?
Their are Jobs out their and their is also the Military they will give you a job, If you work you should have some sort of Healthcare, and if you dont, then we can try to put together a plan for those, But those that refuse to work, Time to ship those lazy welfare ratts to another part of the Globe, (france, mexico, Iran, Iraq) we dont need you feeding off the rest of us.
Welfare should only be available for those who have served in the Military, and then only temporarly, (except for Disabled Vets, God Bless you all)

Prop A is a JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It doesnt matter how much or what percent, the money goes into a GENERAL fund and DOES NOT get used for the schools in Missouri,
thats what we were told when we all voted and choose to let riverboat gaming into out state, The boats are NOT responsible for this, they pay the money they promised into the state, but then just 2 short years later our local politicians voted to move this money into a general fund so they can use and abuse it, and now the scools are broke again.

Barack Obama, the Presidential Democratic Party candidate, is for
banning all guns in America . He is considered by those who have dealt
with him as a bit more than just a little self-righteous.
At a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas , he asked
the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to
slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in
total silence.
Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands
together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'
Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the
quiet and said: ''Well, dummy stop clapping!'

Saturday I went out to buy a New rifle, I decided after 20+ years I deserved to have a New Deer Rifle and My son would get my old one.
I shopped and researched what I wanted for a couple of weeks, then I called around for the best price, Once I found the right price I was done, When I arrived at the shop on Saturday to pick up my new rifle, I began talking to the shop keeper, he was working on a engine lathe, he was threading the end of a barrel on a pistol, I ask him if he was doing that for a flash supressor, he replied that it was for a Silencer, he told me that as of August 31 Missouri is one of 40 states that you can now own a silencer, This was a huge suprise to me, then he went on to tell me that in Missouri you can also now own a Fully Automatic Weapon, This was even a bigger surprise,
So I guess now when Im out Rabbit and squirrel hunting that the competition will be greater if Im not hunting with a machine Gun with a silencer ??
