Kansas Bill Aims to Begin the State Income Tax Phase Out
AFTR
Governor Brownback and the Kansas Senate have taken a step forward in the fight to phase out the state’s individual income tax with the introduction of SB 78
The Senate Committee on Assessment and Taxation responded to the call by Governor Brownback in his State of the State Address to phase out the states income tax, with the filing of SB 78. Governor Brownback expressed in his address the need to reform the Sunflower states income tax rates in order to compete with neighboring states, especially Texas which has no state income tax.

Income taxes are immoral.
But I believe Kansas has many other taxes, sufficient to fleece the productive and assuage the parasitic.

As much as we hate the idea of a VAT, a sales tax is the fairest– everybody pays the same.
Problem is, the PTB would never consider using it to REPLACE an existing tax, but would certainly ADD it to our tax burden given half a chance.

Call me Mr. Nitpicker but Texas is not a neighboring state of Kansas.

@ Billy- True. But doesn’t Tulsa have more trial lawyers per capita than any other American city? Hardly a bastion of conservatism.

VAT tax is a great way to extend the tax base. Ever buy products made in Great Brittan? Yes.
The Grown & Parliament thank you.

Indiana is following the same path, thanks to our new conservative Gov Mike Pence and our republican supermajority in the state legislation.

Kansas might be the geographical center of the lower 48, but it’s still gonna suck even with no state tax.
