Prop A: KC, St. Louis will have to defend e-tax for rich guy’s amusement

Rich guy Rex Sinquefield‘s game of live-action SimCity will continue with the passage of Proposition A. The lopsided statewide vote means Kansas City and St. Louis will be forced to defend the 1 percent earnings tax they collect.

Sinquefield made a pile of money managing funds. He wants lower taxes and fewer regulations, and he’s got the coin and the determination to make the rest of Missouri want the same things. He spent a reported $11.2 million on the Prop A campaign, which adopted the populist theme Let Voters Decide.
