David Stokes on the News

Economy |

I didn’t catch David Stokes on Fox 2 last night in St Louis, but fortunately the clip is online. Dave was interviewed regarding the Internet furor about plans by the city of St. Louis to apply its 1-percent earnings tax to players in the All-Star Game, which St. Louis is hosting this year. As Stokes explains in the video, and as many Show-Me Institute publications have expressed before, the city earnings tax is a bad idea for the economic health of the city.

Be sure and check out the clip, and also some of our related publications, such as this op-ed and this policy study.
