Letter: Voter lesson

To the editor:

Voters should have learned a lesson, which is the Republican Party is not the same and has not been for about 20 years. This will require holding their noses to vote Democratic, which is a fiscally smart choice. Why?

The Brownback administration will wage war against those who appeared not to do as told, which means big dollars will be spent to replace them. Never forget it is the GOP, led by libertarian right wing politicians, that has effectively rendered Kansas bankrupt.

Next session, just reinstating the Brownback tax cuts should not require a lot of thinking. It will, however, require a ton of backbone and truckloads of ethical stamina.

Reward middle-class real Republicans and Democrats for the years of pain and suffering extended to them by the Brownback administration and associated sheep. Fully fund public education instead of totally destroying this most effective institution.

Then cut state sales tax on the following: school supplies (from kindergarten through college), clothing, shoes, groceries, all health care-related purchases and automobile purchases Reinstate all of the mortgage interest deduction and estimated sales tax refund.

All of the above rewards are not too much to ask … considering.
