New, disastrous Kansas job loss exposes pure folly of Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax cuts

[tenderfoot]

Eat this you libertarian trolls.

Gov. Sam Brownback’s income tax-cut plan to spur job growth in Kansas has become a full-time disaster.

On Friday, the state announced it had lost 3,000 total jobs in August. That’s on top of the 5,100 jobs lost in July.

Here’s even more dire news: The Sunflower State in the past 12 months gained a total of a puny 1,000 new jobs.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's promise to create new private sector jobs is going very, very badly.

Only West Virginia, North Dakota and Alaska are worse, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Other states, meanwhile, that didn’t slash taxes and give up hundreds of millions of dollars in public revenues are enjoying robust job additions.

Just look at Missouri: It has gained 30,800 jobs in the last 12 months — almost 31 times more than Kansas has.

1. What's the matter with Kansas? It reelected him in 2014.

2. A small price to pay to eliminate birth control, solar power on houses, the public education system,

and those liberal courts!
At least now all Kansans will probably go to heaven as Brownback leads the way!

3. I hope every one of those job losses

went to some one who voted for Brokeback.
