His problem may be that he tilted openly toward business, and that that “take taxes off business” stuff isn’t playing too well post-TARP. And it shouldn’t, not when it’s disguised corpo-couponcutter moneygrubbing. “Tax them, not me.”
Brownback is exemplary and the bloat that he is eradicating should be eradicated. Toughen up Kansas!
He cut taxes and as a result the government collected less revenue. Sounds like a win to me.
Says who?? I have never heard any real conservative advocate cutting some taxes and raising other taxes to "compensate". Real conservatives think taxes should be cut, period. Not replaced.
BI is clearly a liberal rag.
there are far too many variables to simply say “flat tax” or “consumption tax”. A flat tax isn’t do-able simply because the more wealthy individuals currently offset it. A flat or consumption tax would devastate everyone and cut taxes on the wealthy by a tremendous amount, basically crippling everything. The only way a fair tax system could EVER be implemented would be to cut spending by huge amounts... like cut it in half sort of numbers, and we have just as much of a chance of getting that as we do a secure border. The SOB’s are drunk on our money and I don’t think there is a way to ever get it back.
Income taxes are down and local governments are raising real estate taxes to fund their own spending. How is that a state problem?
I can make no sense out of this article. That must be the point.
