Ain’t it great that none of the Kansas papers I checked (Topeka, KC) even mentioned this…

If it’s not reported it didn’t/won’t happen…

Kansas general election results for 11/3/2014: Republican Sam Brownback 422,824, 50%; Democratic Paul Davis 390,051, 46%; Libertarian Keen A. Umbehr 33,660

From Community’s 3x09 episode “Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism”, German foosball player says: “I wish there was a word to describe the pleasure I feel at viewing misfortune.”

Those dumbshits in Kansas asked for it. Now they’re gonna get it. What can you say? Republicans get woodrow at the prospect of massive deficits.

MOAR tax cuts!

We can reanimate this corpse. Negative tax rates for the wealthy. It will work this time.

It is very important to remember that Brownback firmly believes in the Voodoo Economics put forth by Arthur Laffer --a theory which has been disproved by history over and over.

Brownback sold this snake oil to his state by claiming that these draconian tax cuts would dramatically stimulate the economy resulting in a plethora of new jobs and economic activity ultimately creating an utopian economic state for Kansas.

He was wrong.

Just as Ronald Reagan was wrong.

Just as George W. Bush was wrong.

Just as Paul Ryan is wrong.

Because this idiotic economic theory is, truly as George HW Bush said, nonsense.

It is voodoo.

Looking forward to Kansas causing trouble for the financial markets in 2015, kind of like how this went in 1994:

Could these voters in Kansas be on to something?

Hopefully, all those incumbents voted back in will double down on their policies.
