Recently
in the Wichita Eagle, they reprinted an article about our own Governor Sam
Brownback that demonstrated just how physically removed from reality he really
is. The article showed how happy Brownback is that President Donald Trump is imitating
his tax policies which have brought nothing but disaster for Kansas. But Trump,
like Brownback, is not going to pay any attention to reality and what really
happens from such policies. Trump and Brownback are men of ideology and not
reality. They live in a fantasy world all their own. -SJ Otto

At
least for a moment, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback was delighted.....
....In
recent weeks, the U.S. House and Senate have passed tax bills that would cut taxes
on corporations and change the playing field for “pass-through” businesses like
the ones that benefited from Brownback’s 2012 tax cuts.
“I’m
delighted,” Brownback said. “I think they’re going to get a tax bill through. I
think it’s going to be very stimulative to the economy.”
The
federal tax debate has given Brownback a chance to re-litigate the key policy
issue that has marked his time as governor.
Kansas
cut taxes in what Brownback celebrated as a “real-live experiment.” It could
have cemented the legacy of a man who once ran for president.
..... The
Kansas cuts reduced income tax rates and created an income tax exemption for
the owners of limited liability companies and other pass-through businesses.
What
followed were revenue shortfalls and budget cuts. School funding became even
more difficult. Brownback’s standing among Kansas Republicans deteriorated. Yet
he continued to stand by the tax cuts. He bemoaned the policy’s death when the
Republican-dominated Legislature rolled it back in June.
