Did you even bother reading my post? I said nothing about Brownback cutting taxes. This however is a quote from Bloomberg News.


Kansas’s credit rating was reduced by Standard & Poor’s, which cited the effects of income-tax cuts endorsed by Republican Governor Sam Brownback that weren’t matched by less spending.

I read your post and your post makes no sense. You said that he mishandled the economy and you supported that point by linking to an article that said he cut taxes which led to S&P reducing their credit rating for Kansas because the tax cuts weren't matched by spending cuts.

The article made no mention of the economy being hurt and did note that tax collections had actually increased as a result of the tax cuts.

A note to the ignorant among us (which apparently includes you) - this is what is known as supply-side economics and it is how Reagan turned our economy around in the 1980s.

You know, I read yours and centurion316’s comments and I completely understand why Reagan couldn’t get elected dogcatcher now. It isn’t enough that Brownback cuts taxes and then has tax collections actually increase as a result, but he then has to do the impossible which is to get people like you to understand the connection between reducing taxes and increasing tax revenues.
