As Legislature remains deadlocked, Brownback in Chicago touting tax cuts

Topeka — As the Kansas Legislature remained deadlocked over taxes and spending, Gov. Sam Brownback is speaking today at a $40-a-ticket luncheon in Chicago before the Illinois Policy Institute.

The event has been titled "There's no place like home. A conversation with Kansas Governor Sam Brownback."

The information about the event says that Brownback "has proven to be an innovative reformer seeking to expand liberty in the Sunflower State." It says Brownback enacted the largest income tax cut in Kansas history and is seeking more cuts.

The Illinois Policy Institute describes itself as a non-partisan organization dedicated to supporting free market principles and liberty-based public policy initiatives. Here is a link to information about the event.link text

I'm pretty sure politics, in general, got pushed to the bottom of the news pile this afternoon. :(

I'd pay money to send him on a permanent vacation. Preferably to another country.

I wonder if they were served complimentary Koch's? Follow the trail to The Illinois Policy Institute and you find ALEC and the Koch bros as contributors. So ironic, the man is known as one of the governors with the worse tax plan in the nation. No wonder it only cost $40 per empty head.

Sam's tax cuts will never fly in land of the stinky onion ( Chicako - just for you Tusch ). Taxes are the life blood of the corrupt politicians and union thugs. 4 of the last 5 IL. Govs are or have done time in State and Federal penn's for corruption. Oh yeah and Barry is from there too.

"There's no place like home." Because I'm in Chicago.....instead of Kansas.

This is too sad to comment on. He's in Chicago bragging about something that has not yet proven a prosperity boom? Some leader.

"The information about the event says that Brownback "has proven to be an innovative reformer seeking to expand liberty in the Sunflower State.'"

That's right, it's the amazing Flim-Flam Sam! He can turn the ace of spades into the queen of clubs, and he can expand liberty by turning Kansas into a third-world state run by the Chamber of Commerce! So, come one, come all to the Illinois Policy Institute Circus! Come to be dumbfounded by Flim-Flam Sam's illusions, and stay for the Illinois Policy Institue's Clown-capades! You'll laugh 'til your sides split!

Expand liberty for the Koch bro's maybe? Certainly not the middle class, or less fortunate...

"The Illinois Policy Institute describes itself as a non-partisan organization"

Why do they feel the need to lie about their obvious partisanship?

I love how our inept governor is out selling something as wonderful all the while half of his crazy constituency can't even buy in. This is the Koch philosophy though, buy some puppets and have them push game-changing policy through as fast as they can so that they can see all the benefit before the People recognize what they are doing.
