3. but on the other hand, Missouri income taxes do seem to suck

No standard deduction, no personal exemptions, married people pay the same rates as single people? The top rate starts at $9,000 in income?

I didn't remember that from the one time I filed Missouri taxes. http://www.tax-rates.org/missouri/income-tax#StandardDeduction

Some reform might not be a bad thing - reduce the rates paid by couples making less than $30,000 a year, and put some higher brackets in for people making over $100,000 a year. Done right it would be a tax cut for most Missourians.
