Brownback signs Kansas income tax cut bill into law
Let us also hope that the reason he would be the former Kansas Gov. Brownback is not because he was elected to higher office.

Brownback signs Kansas income tax cut bill into law
The governor is simply wrong when he proclaims his new tax plan is fairer and flatter at the same time. Its impossible for a flat tax to also be fair to the poor and middle class taxpayer. His comment about fairer and flatter can only apply to the rich but taxes have just gone up for the poor and middle class. But Sam only has eyes for the wealthy. It has always been impossible for him to place himself in the shoes of those less fortunate. While he darts all over the world (the Paris air show is next) trying to drum up support for another run for the presidency we Kansas taxpayers keep footing his travel bills.
I hate to burst his bubble but even most Catholics do not support his archaic views on birth control and abortion. In fact, its his extreme beliefs that will keep him from ever winning ANY nationwide election. Its just a shame that he has so far successfully led a bunch of dimwitted, masochistic voters (even though they don't know it yet) into keeping him in office. More and more of them are waking up, though, especially after he just gave all their bosses a free ride on state income taxes.

Budget advances with 'devastating' cuts to KU
Looks to me like KU and K-State are going to be forced by the legislature to break the contract made with students to provide a certain valued higher education. Professors rarely show up in classrooms as it is. Now I wonder if they will even show up in their offices. Perhaps the state could be sued by college students for having failed to deliver a college education.

GOP tax plans would increase taxes on low-wage Kansans, decrease taxes for high-income Kansans, report says
I can only pity the poor average republican in Kansas who will vote conservative morons into office who will then come right back and slit their throats. Will Kansas republicans EVER learn they are not part of the 1%, 99% of them anyway? They are proving to be the most masochistic chunk of humanity ever produced on earth.

Legislature makes no progress; Brownback leaves state to tout tax cuts
Hurry up and barricade all border highways so the SOB can't get back in. There's no telling what lies he told in Chicago.

Republican freshman lawmakers in Kansas House undergo re-election briefing
The only way they can strengthen their position is to come up with bigger lies than their last ones and get the voters to believe those, also. They also need to throw a lot of that pixie dust out there to keep the middle class from realizing that everything they have done so far has kicked the middle class in the gut in order to glorify the rich.

Brownback concludes tour urging support of stable funding for higher education
Nobody likes to be blackmailed or unduly coerced into supporting a political position. That's exactly what Sam Brownback has done to college and university officials across Kansas. He has told them, in so many words, that the only way they can get the same dollars they got last year was to support raising the sales tax to prior levels. WHAT A LIE!!!!!!! He personally created the financial catastrophe for the state trying to look like a financial wizard that would propel him to the GOP presidential nomination the next go around. He must have failed economic history however as "trickle down" didn't work before and it won't work now. He has even admitted that he embarked Kansas on an experiment. To hell with his experiment. The guy is going to run off all the workers to other states as nothing will trickle down.
The very term "trickle down" is both obscene and a huge affront to the average worker. The way it is supposed to work is to give the rich so much money that it is hoped they will eventually hire more workers. But what we saw before when this was tried was the money went to buy a second Mercedes for the family or got invested in the stock market. No new jobs. The rich only got richer and the poor poorer.
Sam is finding out from more and more Kansans just where he can shove his experiment.
GOVERNOR - MAKE THE RICH PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF INCOME TAXES

About 100 people rally against policies of Brownback and legislative majority
Kris Kobach is a liar. I challenge him to produce all his expense reimbursement forms and vacation leave forms since he has taken office. His appointment book would have to be included. He has taken vacation leave prior to earning it.

Brownback says higher sales tax needed in case state loses school finance lawsuit
Rolling back the unjust income tax savings for the rich ought to produce any needed funds.

Gov. Brownback says he'll attend President Obama's event in Lawrence if he's invited
I'll tell you what, Brownie. You may be governor but why ruin the perfect record the Kansas GOP politicians have established of doing EVERYTHING they could possibly do to embarrass, snub, attack and otherwise block the law of the land from being enforced in Kansas, just because the ideas for those laws came from a democrat.
Stay home so the lied to everyday Kansas republicans can keep their misguided heads held high. One day, I hope soon, Kansans will revolt and elect people who will represent everyone and put into place tax policies benefiting most citizens. Yes, the rich will have to pay more. So be it. This rape of the poor and middle class tax system you and your buds are installing will become more evident and your days are numbered as it sinks in to the voters what you are doing. Its a simple pocketbook issue that will bite your ass eventually.
