There is nothing stopping Megan from rallying everyone in Kansas that agrees with this to send in extra tax money to the state.

I expect this tax increase proposal to fail, as similar proposals are failing everywhere. So those with the means can simply send in additional cash on their own.

An even better idea would be for Megan to lobby for progressive taxes that truly hit those that can afford to pay more. In the meantime, since she is asking for her taxes to be raised, she can just do this voluntarily by sending the state extra money - and lobby everyone who feels the same in the state to do the same.

You talk about $25.00 a year as if it is nothing at all. Perhaps your economic situation is fine, but for a lot of people every additional tax, fee, etc is just unaffordable right now. You have to assume this $25.00 is not the only new bill they would face. Rents go up, Credit Card interest rates go up, the general cost of living goes up. People are in such dire straights that every nickel and dime counts right now.
