Republican lawmakers in Kansas trying to foist a flat tax on the poor and working class.... [View all]

This is how they want to make up the shortfall cause by Gov Brownback when him and his wrecking crew of Republicans voted for a ZERO State income tax rate starting in 2013 for all Corp/LLC/S Corps and those with rental incomes. As predicted back then the disaster has happened,we'll be facing a Billion $$$ shortfall by June 2018. Another disaster tinkle down "plan" by Arthur Laffer and signed off on by Brownback and Repubs.

Oh yeah....80% of the Legislators have their OWN LLC.

Gosh what to do?? Make those Corporations start paying taxes again??...nah Try and shove through the Legislature a Neil Boortz "flat tax" which would more than double the tax rate for the poor and working class while implementing a 2.2% tax reduction for those in higher incomes.

We'll see.............
