Totally not a tax increase

The analysis posted online said the poorest 20 percent of the state's residents will pay 1.5 percent more in taxes than they did in 2012, or an average of $197 a year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1 percent will pay 1.9 percent less, or an average of about $24,600, the group said.

So the poorest 20% finally pay taxes? Cool

But in all seriousness that would mean the average family in the bottom 20% pays close to $13k year in taxes. The poverty line is only about 10k above that. I know you got it from Yahoo, but next time number crunch and ask yourself if the number makes sense. Again, stop being a Yes man and learn to think for yourself.

Um you do know the difference between state and federal, right? In a state where there's sales tax, everyone pays taxes.

See the bold above, how in the funk do you get that math? You don't take $197 and divide by .015. While it's not worded right, they mean their effective rate is 1.5% higher. So yes I will think for myself.

Regardless of the exact numbers, you can see when they cut taxes on the wealthy, then increase the sales tax and cigarette tax, that's a structure that's very favorable to the wealthy.

I am all for a cigarette tax. If these people want suck Medicare dry by their medical costs at least they can pay for some of it. I don't work my ass off so Leroy's worthless unemployed ass can set on his ass and smoke his camal menthols and then suck more money out of me later, when I have to pay for his lung cancer treatment. Only in your messed up world is this considered socially acceptable. Honda's world

Where did I say I want for a cigarette tax?I'm so for that shit and it should go right into the medicare fund. I also think smokers should pay higher insurance costs.

I'm pointing out, that the next effect of the Kansas tax plan, that he calls a tax cut, is a tax increase on the lowest 20% of wage earners and a tax cut on the wealthiest 1%. I'm more wondering in what works does it make sense for billionaires and millionaires to get a tax cut while the poorest people get an increase. In a scenario where everyone is paying taxes because of the sales tax. At the federal level, this is a different matter when many people get a huge income tax payment (it's not a refund when you pay in $500 and get $3,000 back).
