There never has been any  Eliminate income tax in Kansas! supporters in this thread, has there? Easier to turn a blind eye to the flaming ball of poop if you're a tea party Kansas voter?Florida has no income tax -- but has massive sales tax to compensate. They also have tourism that suits taxing the heck out of visitors, anyway. Idk how well pure sales tax for revenue would work in a primary-production agribiz state. Based on what I'm reading, Kansas hasn't really kicked up sales tax enough to compensate for this poo poo, and etailers without offices in Kansas can provide the middle and upper classes their expensive goods without Kansas sales tax anyway.

Haha holy poo poo, Kansas really can't go income-tax-free. I have a brother in Lawrence, so I didn't really realize the population was so drat close to the state's borders. What the gently caress are they trying to do.

I can see the bill already: "Be it so enacted by the Kansas State Legislature.......don't spend your money 10 miles across the border in Missouri. Also, please don't move away."

fknlo posted:For those that doubt that the invisible hand of the free market works, the water slide that was only opened in Kansas because of the lax regulations is not going to reopen after decapitating a Republican lawmakers kid.  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-kansas-waterslide-demolished-20161123-story.html Kansas mandates annual inspections of permanent amusement park rides but allows private inspectors to do the checks, rather than requiring a state inspection. A document released by the state Department of Labor after Caleb's death showed that all of Schlitterbahn's rides passed private inspections in June. "In our 50 years of providing an environment for families and friends to gather," the statement read, "we've never experienced this kind of devastating event." Maybe not directly you, guy, it just wasn't perhaps in this park and it wasn't a lawmaker's kid.

Mooseontheloose posted:I just wonder what it will take for people in these states to vote out these people. Accepting data-driven policymaking on things as simple to assess and understand as the need for seatbelts and traffic laws is too high a hurdle for most of my My brother lives in KS and is basically preparing to leave. One of his greatest frustrations is a surge in young people calling themselves libertarian to distance themselves from the past, continuing and compounding failures of the GOP from the Bush admin on down to local KS governments. Politically, apparently, 90% of 'em can't actually vocalize significant differences between their political ideas and the GOP platform at any level, but it does allow them to handwave away lessons from the past and present that that should be learning with a, "that's not us." tl;dr even the next generation of conservatives is hosed.

Eh, the athletic association could still use 4mil of that salary to outright poach and buy out two really good researchers and their labs per year and begin fleshing out their research portfolio while still making the coach a millionaire. I think some of this comes down to seeing opportunities to invest in the kind of poo poo that gives a university truly meaningful opportunities to STEM students (grad and undergrad names on published research) while building up a war chest of faculty whose incomes can be directly billed to sponsors interested in the public benefit or industrial applications of their research. Sports spending is fine; I think though that some of us will always fantasize about what else that money could do.
