Brownback was and is little more than a RINO.
But we have Conservatives on the Local levels that push him to do these sorts of things.
Proud to be from and in Kansas.
P.S. I heard on KMBZ that Missouri is going ape over this, but the Democrats say don't worry it will cause Kansas to have a deficit. Lols!
There’s no better example of the obtuseness of libs like Frank who legitimately wonder why many Americans refuse to be wards of the state. “Don’t you want all the “freebies” government will give you?” they bleat. NO! and HELL NO!
SHOW ME that giant suckin’ sound...
While eliminating the income tax is good, I am looking for a state that will eventually eliminate domicile property taxes. This means if you have a primary residence on a given maximum amount of land, say one acre, you are exempt from property taxes. Anything beyond that is not exempt.
The big, philosophical purpose of this is the restoration of the idea that people *own* their homes and their land, *not* that they just “lease” them from the government, for which they have to perpetually pay “rent” in the form of property taxes.
This would not be open to corporations or investors, or renters, and a property owner would have to be a 6 months and 1 day legal resident of that state and county and live on that property.
In addition, the home and land could be in a family trust, so it would be exempt from inheritance tax as well.
Now, I heard everything from LIBERALS: paying an income tax is a 'pursuit of HAPPINESS??' Really??
If that is the case, I'll be sad!!
MO is really going nuts over this, as well as the fact that KS wants to end their corporate income tax as well. There have been LOTS of radio advertisements I’ve heard about this.
Oh, and KS is a Right to Work state, while MO is still a wholly owned subsidiary of the unions.
It’s driving the lefties crazy!

It would be difficult to imagine Kansas property taxes being hiked to the point of the government owning all of the land, but that appears to be the plan of bureaucrats and their friends in government-linked services.
It’s got Missouri talking about a flat tax.
Thank you Kansas!
I once believed it, though mostly out of cynicism.
Now, I know it not to be true.
There is hope.
There’s nothing wrong with Kansas that a few less liberals wouldn’t fix.
