Missouri borders eight states, with major cities near state lines, meaning shoppers could easily cross borders and reduce state revenue, forcing even higher sales taxes. He contrasts that with Florida, where he says the model works because geography limits that behavior, adding, “I would love to sell you some oceanfront property in Missouri.”⁠ —⁠ ⁠ Where in Missouri am I right now?
