Kansas Governor Brownback: "Take from the poor, give to the rich"

I find it difficult to believe these people can even get in office, let alone stay there. Here's the latest "take from the poor, give to the rich" scheme and this time it's from next-door neighbor Kansas: "A bill sponsored by Kansas Republican Governor Sam Brownback would spur economic growth by cutting income taxes on residents and doing away with them entirely for most small business while reducing or eliminating a variety of tax credits. But it turns out that in the version of the bill approved by a House committee this week, half a million of the state’s poorest residents who earn less than $25,000 will wind up paying an average of $72 more per year, while the 21,000 Kansans who make over $250.000 will get an average tax cut of $1500." The thing is, too, if you read the article (it's brief), you'll find his original plan gave even MORE to the rich and took even more from those who make less. HEADSLAP. I ask you, is that not disgusting? Why do any politicians get away with this? And then, how? ANY political party should be punished--and severely--at the polls for doing things like this. It just makes it so much easier if it's a Republican, as in this case.Link: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/24/kansas-may-raise-taxes-on-the-poor-to-fund-cuts-for-the-rich/
