Ah, taxes. The inevitable foe of fun and frivolity. But hey, at least Kansas City keeps things interesting with its own earnings tax! That's right, folks, on top of federal and maybe even state taxes, you get to contribute to the good ol' KCMO kitty. But fear not, weary taxpayer! Parting with your hard-earned cash doesn't have to be a tearful ordeal. In fact, it can be a breeze, almost as refreshing as a summer iced tea (tax deductible? Discuss amongst yourselves).
