In reply to the discussion: Oklahoma going broke as fast as Kansas due to tinkle down economics.......... [View all]Bengus81
(6,931 posts)17. In Kansas we've had two sales tax increases since 2013.....
That's how Brokeback and his NEO CONS in the Legislature figured they could make up for those 0% tax rates for Corporations. When that didn't work they started GUTTING everything they could get their hands on--schools,KDOT. I remember in early 2017 KDOT cancelled bids on at least 24 State road projects,no sense in getting a bid on work that could be years away. We have a budget shortfall of about 900 million.
Those 0% cuts have now been reversed to the tax rates in 2013 but it will take YEARS to undo what Brownback and his cronies did with his State version of trickle down.

That's probably the real reason Blue states are being taxed more--to bail these fuckers out!
