Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: We've already seen the coming results in Sam Brownback's Kansas.

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]He said his ridiculous tax cuts in Kansas were going to be a shining example of trickle down economics' success for the rest of the country, with the usual chestnut that "the boost in economic activity will pay for the revenue shortfalls!" Well it was an example, but not one showing the results he wanted. The result was such a massive clusterfuck that the <B>Republican</B> legislature of Kansas overcame his veto to raise taxes and mitigate the mess. Just how awful do things have to get for Republicans to <I>fight</I> for tax hikes? Then the GOP turned Brownback into the ambassador to religion or some shit to keep him as far away from the cameras as possible. It's a failure of Democratic messaging and the "liberal" media that Kansas wasn't on everyone's lips whenever these tax cuts were discussed in the news.[/quote]
