[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

According to KDR, approximately 30% of sales tax revenue was derived from JOCO and it's munis in FY2014. Per the census 19% of the state's population lives there. Is it that hard to believe income taxes aren't collected at a similar or greater level (KDR doesn't have count by county data I could find) for the most affluent county in the state?

Are actually disputing that education isn't funded out of the general fund? Do you believe that JOCO receives the proportionate amount back paid in?

I assume you're just trying to provide cover for your own stupidity, but the pitsters aren't even that dumb.

Half the budget is not education, though. 30% is not way more than half of the state's tax revenue. It is way less than half. I have little doubt that Johnson county pays more in taxes than it receives, but that doesn't mean that the citizens of Johnson County are subsidizing education for the rest of the state. Every county has its rich and poor.

About half the budget is spent on education.

Sales taxes and income taxes are different.

If they pay more into the general fund than is returned, then they are subsidizing education, because math. 50 cents of every tax dollar is allocated for education and that pro rata portion is not spent in joco.


these are such simple concepts

I'm not even arguing with you, just laughing at your horrible attempt at logic.

Stop being such a douche and explain your position.

Counties don't pay income tax, though. Individuals do. A wealthy Johnson County resident is not subsidizing education in Cherokee County any more than a similarly wealthy Finney County resident is. Also, by not looking at the other half of the budget and where those funds go, your whole argument is completely meaningless. I'm sure Johnson County gets a bigger slice of the transportation budget than most other counties, for instance.

I bet at least a quarter of that sales tax is from non residents

Are you rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)? I'm talking about the people of JoCo, not the rough ridin' political subdivision. Of course the county, fabricated by individuals out of points in space, does not pay taxes. It doesn't exist but for the people who live in and govern it. The people of Johnson County derive direct benefit from its school districts, they obtain no direct benefit from the Cherokee county school districts.

They don't pay more or receive less than the people of any other county on an individual basis.

Is anybody still seriously arguing that the JoCo tax base isn't helping to prop up counties in western Kansas, be it schools, infrastructure, or otherwise? Or are you guys just rough ridin' around with FSD?

This is untrue on a county-wide and individual basis, as repeatedly demonstrated above.

Very similar to how blue States prop up the taker red states

If a JoCo resident and a FiCo resident each pay $1 of taxes into the general fund, and the general fund allocates a disproportionately higher amount of that fund to Finney County than JoCo, then JoCo is subsidizing Finney.  Simple math

Do you have a link to tax distributions? I wouldn't be so sure that Finney gets a disproportionate amount of funding. Brownback has made it so that farmers can create an LLC and not pay taxes, so revenues aren't going to be as high as they were before him, but Finney and Ford counties create a pretty large amount of revenue per capita.

Sedgwick pays a significant share of sales taxes that go to help other parts of the state but I don't get bent out of shape about it.
