Would you rather have a lower income tax and higher sales tax, or lower sales tax and higher income tax?
It is the devil's choice that is being created falsely by Brownback and his Tea Party GOP Koch Brothers LLC ilk. The dumb part as pointed out above a few times is that you can clearly stop buying a lot of stuff -- thus lower sales tax revenues -- but to stop making more money is a harder decision. So a growing economy should keep income taxes -- the revenues will go up as the economy grows. Sales tax will go up as the country grows from the immigration over time, etc. and the huge families that no-birth control from me Brownback wants. So, let us see -- income tax equals growing production of goods and ideas ; Sales tax equals growing number of mouths to feed, and get clothes for...many poor people expected by Brownback, not many new bright companies coming to Kansas. About right.

My income is taxed already and I have to pay sales tax when I buy milk. And yes, I should pay sales tax when I buy stocks. It is just another purchase, already held as
'special' by the 1 percent -- remember that lower tax on income from stocks than income from work. Bogus.

Budget provision would block state funding for Common Core standards
Oh gee. You would rather have Connie Morris types decide what science education is than that NSF? Really? That's dumb.

Budget provision would block state funding for Common Core standards
At least the districts that put the Common Core in place should have a much easier time getting good SAT scores for their students. But, then the others don't want their children educated much, so I guess that even supporting college will become optional.

exactly. cult takes over -- brownbackistan rules with their weird religion -- state drops in the hell hole left by the (not in scienceless kansas) salt pits.

State Board of Education member defends N-word comments
Hoping for scat behavior next meeting when Roberts really wants to be out of the box -- and maybe onto the floor. That would be about as immature. Maybe he wasn't liked as a kid ?.

Brownback concludes tour urging support of stable funding for higher education
Koch Brothers LLC and ALEC -- those that pay the piper, call the tune. The poor and working poor and lower middle class are not of interest to Sammy. They don't count. Brownback sings what ALEC plays. And he lies. Not an honest person.

Ad campaign accuses Kansas schools of low academic standards
Attack the funding, then attack the outcomes caused by lack of funding, then suggest that private famiies with no doubt cult religious beliefs will be better at making standards? What a crock of $hhhitit... Dave, Dinosaurs did not walk with man. Nope. Not at all. Nor did baby dinosaurs get on a boat. No boat. No baby dinosaurs. And rocks are not 6,000 years old. Nor stars. This is why we have standards that do not combine religious cults into them. There is no other side to the theory of gravity. Get over it.

U.S. Attorney General Holder tells Brownback new gun law is unconstitutional
Paul Davis and Barbara Ballard voted for this idiot bill ? Damn. Time to start that third party. There is no reason to support Davis at all if he folds on this moron driven bill.
ps there must be a company (friends of Sammy Brownback and the Kochs ) that makes guns. Money always involved in Brownback istan.

Editorial: AG issue
Clearly, Derek has friends that need work. It is slush money for poor lawyers. I mean, what with no taxes on LLCs, this is the only path to get more money from the government for attorneys. Go Bar Team, Go....
