Sam Brownback, governor or Kansas came into office and cut Kansas' already low tax rates.
Sound familiar?
It should.
It's virtually the same thing Trump wants to do, and what the large majority of the GOP wants to do when they rush into office. What this really is, is a massive corporate tax break while citizens get scraps.
But oh how they love scraps. The members of this forum are an example. We know who they are. It's sad really. Vote to take the scraps now and suffer later, and in addition, heaps truckloads of misery upon those who need programs that will be crippled or cut due to those tax breaks the most (Medicaid is a perfect example).
So if it failed in Kansas, how come Trump keeps pushing his budget?
Well because his base supports him blindly and they'll never admit they got suckered into voting for him.
As soon as they admit that MAYBE some progress can be made. But that will never happen on a country-wide scale. But it got so bad in Kansas it had to.
Keep this in mind when Trump tries to pass his plan. It's the same trickle-down theory that blew up an entire state budget in plain sight. Brownback's plan was just overturned with the largest tax increase in state history (in a Rep. controlled legislature!).
After Brownback took office in 2011, he and the Republican-dominated legislature joined forces to cut the state’s already low tax rates even further. Brownback pursued even more aggressive reforms in the following years, completely eliminating the state income tax for owner-operated businesses, known as pass-through entities.
Brownback promised at the time that his “experiment” would act “like a shot of adrenalineinto the heart of the Kansas economy.”
Instead, the Kansas economy tanked.
Since the right-wing conservative became governor, Kansas’ growth rate has been below that of the Midwest region and the nation every year. Kansas faces projected budget shortfalls nearing nearly $1 billion through June 2019.
Brownback and his fellow Republicans’ tax reform failed so catastrophically that even other GOP lawmakers from the region have openly mocked it. Missouri Republican state Sen. Ryan Silvey mocked Brownback’s claim that cutting taxes in Kansas would result in businesses from neighboring states rushing in.
