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.
Excellent, true and on target! I’ll have more of that, please.
Throwing insults around is not helping your incoherent argument at all.
Brownback reduced taxes - fact
Tax revenues are down - fact
Democrats and the media are pouncing on those facts to attack him and denounce his plan - fact
Tax cuts tend reduce revenue in the short term, but increase revenue long term as the economy reacts to the positive effects of a reduced tax burden. This is why Reagan’s tax cuts worked, but they did not do so overnight, and will not do so overnight in Kansas.
Thank you for your interest in our fair state.

Before calling someone ignorant you might want to know what you,re talking about.......
For the first 11 months of its fiscal year, tax collections were down $685 million, or 12%, from a year earlier, at a time when U.S. states, according to the nonpartisan Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government, are expected on average to see annual revenue growth. Moody’s Investors Service cut Kansas’ debt rating in April as the state draws down its reserves to make up for lost revenue
