Yep,Laffer,Brownback and the NEO CONS that run the State Legislature went for it hook line and sinker. Same BS about creating a zillion new jobs and cash flowing into State coffers.

Five years later this State is all but BK facing a BILLION $$$ shortfall by June 2018 and Republicans STILL won't roll back that zero rate to what it was in 2012. They cut and GUTTED so many programs Trump would be envious. They've ROBBED from KDOT to the point that no large road construction projects can be bid on let alone be started.

This is what TRICKLE DOWN does over and over and over.

The GOP in that state passed everything they have always dreamed about, and it has been a complete and total disaster

One tax bracket would be completely regressive and no relief. An infinite number would be completely progressive with the best chance of relief. So, the more brackets, the better for the real Americans.

who apparently thinks that he's an untouchable filthy rich elitist who can piss on anyone he likes.

But then, that also sounds like an accurate description of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions... and Steve Bannon. And Pence. And his royal highness Jared Kushner. And Ivanka, the woman who thinks her shit smells like French Toast. The list is endless.
