Tax shifting the tax burden to the poor and middle class,  go neocon kansas, go!

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

What a bunch of pathetic cowards. At least 2016 isn't too far off.

So what's the details on the tax increase? Hopefully mostly sales tax? If they're going to raise my taxes, I'm hoping it will at least primarily target the poor. I also heard they wanted to cut a bunch of deductions, too, so I'm pretty concerned this morning.

I also had several more HOLD THE LINE gifs ready to go, all for nothing...

Sales tax and cigarettes. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they eliminated most of the deductions they were talking about, but I haven't seen that yet. Also, the bill hasn't passed the Senate yet. You can still hope they hold the line if you like disappointment.

Cheer up KSUW, the House bill would still require an additional $50M in cuts by the Gov.

Yeah, but that's not very much at all. By my estimate, this is going to cost me about $200 more in sales tax alone, plus more if they also reduce deductions. See everybody? This is what happens when you elect a bunch of tax&spend pubtards.

Much like Obamacare, there's no stopping the train now. The House was the last real hurdle.

I just hope people don't stop smoking. We would have to raise taxes yet again next year if they do.

Could be funny if Brownback didn't rely on voters like you to oust reasonable conservatives.

The "reasonable conservatives" are the ones who voted for this, dumbass. The tea partiers wanted cuts. If you are referring back to the folks ousted in 2012, those were liberals running as "Republicans" because they couldn't get elected in this state as Dems. if you're really describing those guys as "reasonable conservatives."

Silver lining to all of this is that I'm still paying less in taxes than I was a few years ago before the income tax cut. So, I guess to borrow the parlance of the education fight, this isn't really a tax increase at all - just a reduction in the amount of my tax cut.

AND - if I can somehow shift a few thousand in purchases from local businesses to tax-free online stores, that tax savings should completely offset the .35% increase on everything else. Trouble is gas and groceries, which make up a huge chunk of the spending.

I already do this as much as possible, so I don't have a good way to avoid this tax hike.

If Missouri were smart, they'd do the opposite of what we did. Drop the sales tax to zero, raise income taxes to compensate, and just watch their economy boom.

Do rich earners like KSU-w actually align politically based on the difference of a few hundred bucks a year? The way they talk, you would think its like a $10k difference

I think I've made it quite clear that I'm not rich. I'm a HENRY.

A buzzword coined in a 2003 Fortune Magazine article to refer to a segment of families earning between $250,000 and $500,000, but not having much left after taxes, schooling, housing and family costs.

Wow!  That is even more impressive than being rich!

KC Star calls it the biggest tax increase in the history of the state.

If Sam was a genius politician, he would ride all this crap out then veto the bills face off, cut the $400M, be a Tea Party god, and Pub' Scott Walker's face off in the upcoming primaries as the candidate who is the most conservative.

I'm just playing along, but you raise an interesting point. You just know that if Davis was elected and the Dems were responsible for this (who knew the pubtards would pull such a complete betrayal of their own base?), the KC Star would be describing it exactly as I did.

Not to get too serious on this strange day, but this is one of favorite socialist one-liners. "Stop whining about taxes and just live within your means!" This sentiment is especially rich in irony because it only seems to apply to the people paying the freight - not the welfare recipients, government, etc.
