re: #327 thedopefishlives

It’s not rocket surgery. If you know and can keep track of the money going out, you know how much money you need to bring in. You know how many people and corporations are in your state, and their revenue capacity. You know what tax levels you need to set to fund all the expenditures. The actual implementation thereof is more of a political game; the mechanics are simple math.

Right. It just amazes me how much of a total fail Brownback is and the people of Kansas still gave him a second chance.I don’t know where people get this misguided idea that Republicans and conservatives are better fiscally. I’ve seen no evidence to suggest that. I’d much rather be a tax and spend liberal over a tax cut and not spend much at all conservative because at least the former believes in the state investing in its people based on revenues.
