How does the size of the tax increase compare to the previous tax cut?

Political suicide. Way too close to the next election.

Kansas House hasn’t approved it yet. They may not.

Kansas will not collect 471 million on their 471 million tax increase. Kansas will lose a chunk of its tax base so that taxes will fall after a first year peak when the new law is in effect.

So much of the coverage about Kansas is plain wrong..Earlier they were reporting that Brownback's budget cuts/finance plans had failed..turns out that the state's economy is doing very well.

Now there's a story that the governor is threatening to defund the Kansas Supreme Court is they go ahead and rule that the state has to raise taxes to give more $$ to poorer school districts..

Brownback's telling the liberal judges to go and pound sand..

Well,good luck,Kansas. Don’t celebrate just yet. This (expected) money is for what exactly?? Sales tax is already higher than that in at least one of the neighboring states,so maybe that was their main reason for doing it. Smooth move,Dummies!

While the Kansas senate is supporting a record-breaking tax hike, the senate is probably not lifting a finger to stop the feds from stealing state revenues in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes which corrupt Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

The big “accomplishment” of the GOP “leadership” here in Iowa during this legislative session was also raising our taxes.

A 45% increase in the gas tax.

With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?
