    That the economic woes in Kansas are a result of the tax cuts. The deficit is SMALLER because of the tax cuts.

    And that's not any libertarian "rightness" - if it were up to me there'd be no income tax at all, not just cuts.

    the article only states that Kansas has a deficit and that it will probably require tax hikes. drivel was your response.

    Finally you say something reasonable.

    Outcomes are not equal because people are not equal. I'm not as good a basketball player as LMA. He makes way more than I do. That's life.

    do you dispute that there is a $461 million dollar deficit in Kansas? is the likely outcome thet they will raise taxes? (I am sure that I have typed these exact words before) to dispute this is way past the pale.

    Do you dispute there was a $1B deficit in Kansas before the tax cuts?

    Is $461M less than $1B?

    Your source is biased, do you not agree? Did it mention the $1B deficit and how that is reduced by 60%?

    I'm not a disciple of greed. If you and I paint widgets for a living and you paint 20 a day and I paint 10 a day and do a shitty job, you should be paid more than me. It's common sense.

    what "facts" are you babbling about?

    If a republican cured 99% of cancer, you would be whining about 1% not being cured and telling me to dispute that fact.

    WaPost hit piece.

    Anyhow, it does say this:

    But he bowed only so far. He didn’t roll back his steep cuts to income and business taxes, instead proposing an increase in the sales tax from 6.15 percent to 6.65 percent.

    In theory, moving away from taxes on labor and business and toward taxes on consumption can have attractive economic benefits. But the way Mr. Brownback originally cut business taxes provided “an incentive to game the tax system without doing anything productive for the economy,” the Tax Foundation’s Joseph Henchman found. Raising revenue by reversing this distortionary policy would seem to be the obvious first step toward fixing the budget.
