Letter: Selling Kansas

To the editor:

The Brownback experiment in supply-side economics isn’t working. But maybe the experiment just wasn’t bold enough. My proposal: The Koch brothers like to buy elections. Why not let them purchase an entire state government? Yes, privatize Kansas; call it Koch Brothers’ Kansas.

Tea partiers will flock here. These pesky Lawrence liberals will disappear. Unconstitutional? The new Republican president’s Supreme Court appointments will reject any challenges to this bold enterprise. Koch Brothers’ Kansas, “where dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”
