Kansas: once again showing how not to run a government. Continuing the Kansas Experiment I see.

And in case you dont scroll down to read this part, I am just going to put it here:

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the bill cut the taxes of "the wealthiest 1% of Kansans by 2.2%", while it projected that the poorest 20% of Kansans would see "their taxes increase by 1.3%".... almost 70% of Kansas lawmakers, as well as Governor Brownback and his wife, benefited personally from the tax cuts through business or property that they owned, which being non-wage income, was exempt from taxes under the 2012 law.

Non-wage income is what's explicitly exempt from taxes. What bigger "fuck you" to the working class can you even imagine?

And yet they keep managing to convince the working class to vote for them.

because everyone knows that you won't get anywhere with just wages
