Kansas' Tax Cut Disaster


"The largest tax cuts went to those at the top, and Kansas actually raised taxes on the lowest-income families. Nothing in the Kansas economy’s subpar performance since these tax cuts were enacted suggests the benefits have “trickled down” to ordinary Kansans."

Yes. An impoverished populace is desperate, and desperate people work for less. They also don't have time to pursue ideas above their station (whatever station that might be considered by those who are not impoverished and therefore find themselves with some bargaining power).

...and if we cut education, then they won't even be exposed to ideas such as a 'better life' or some pinko-commie-hippy-idealist teacher who suggests that they could do better in life. Peasants belong with the peasantry, and the nobility belongs up on top. Never should the two mix!
