Tax law is not rocket science, but it is math. You must collect enough tax revenues to cover expenses. If you lower taxes for someone, then someone else has to pay more. Our day of reckoning is coming.


Republicans depend on idiots. Who else would buy what Gov. Sam Brownback has been selling? This ideology was proven not to work years ago. Yet they take pride in assisting in killing our state and country.
