Mr. Brownback has made 4th grade reading a top priority and said the repealing the sales tax increase is not a priority all.

Brownback makes no comment at all to creating jobs by aggressive tax reduction on business and individuals, does not understand that a economic plan must include tax reduction and tax reform  and that plan must follow the Reagan/Thatcher model and be implementable ASAP (within the first 60 days would be nice).

 

The only Reagan economy policy he understands is a soft commitment to deregulations, but the central planner in him bleeds through to his plans to create jobs by selective centralized management of the economy.

 

Here is Brownback Speak (Central Planner)

 

“Two key measurable goals of our Road Map for Kansas focus on Growing the Kansas Economy.  The first priority of a Brownback Administration will be creating jobs that provide opportunity for Kansas families.  When I meet with my cabinet, my first question will be, 'what are we doing today to help grow jobs in our state?” How about getting government out of the way by whole tax elimination. We only have 36 state level taxes in Kansas. How about eliminating all but the sales tax and then give Kansas Families a prebate to exempt the cost of the sales to for all Kansas Families up to the poverty level.

 

“As a U. S. Senator, I helped to build the National Institute for Aviation Research into the world's premier composites and general aviation research center.” – So What? How does this research center help a businessmen bring a non-aviation product or service to market? Why is government subsidizing the aviation industry? Would it not be better to just eliminate taxes for all business and on all business to business transactions?

 

No Plan, Lip Service to tax Reform

 

“Another important part of our commitment to Growing the Kansas Economy is reforming the tax code. Capital and jobs flee to states with low overall tax rates and the right mix of taxes.”  Right mix. Is he playing pharmacist with jobs and family incomes now?. How about an simple over-the-counter retail sales tax on all consumer goods and services and leave the heaving thinking to  the people who do it best.

 

“Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.” - Not Brownback but Reagan.

 

Freezing Spending is not “Cutting Spending”. Over 50,000 people lost their jobs in Kansas in less than two years for only two reason: a crappie tax ever increasing in both cost and complexity tax system and government spending.

 

A Freeze in both taxes and state spending  is a freeze in economic recovery.

 

“How often we read of a husband and wife both working, struggling from paycheck to paycheck to raise a family, meet a mortgage, pay their taxes and bills. And yet, some in Congress say taxes must be raised. Well, I'm sorry -- they're asking the wrong people to tighten their belts. (Applause.) It's time we reduce the federal budget and left the family budget alone. (Applause.) We do not face large deficits because American families are undertaxed; we face those deficits because the federal government overspends.” – Not Brownback but Reagan.

 

I am about ready to write Kris Kobach in for every executive position on the ballot.

"This country needs a new administration, with a renewed dedication to the dream of America--an administration that will give that dream new life and make America great again!"

"Restoring and revitalizing that dream will take bold action."

"Well I've said it before and I'll say it again -- America's best days are yet to come. Our proudest moments are yet to be. Our most glorious achievements are just ahead. America remains what Emerson called her 150 years ago, "the country of tomorrow." What a wonderful description and how true. And yet tomorrow might never have happened had we lacked the courage in the 1980's to chart a course of strength and honor". - Rush Limbaugh said, "The Fairtax has no chance in Hell". Limbaugh is not a very good student of Reagan.

"If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before."

"On the eve of our struggle for independence a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, president of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, "Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of….On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rests the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves."

"It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government. It is time for us to realize that we're too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. We're not, as some would have us believe, doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing. So, with all the creative energy at our command, let us begin an era of national renewal. Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength. And let us renew our faith and our hope."

"We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are not heroes, they just don't know where to look. You can see heroes every day going in and out of factory gates. Others, a handful in number, produce enough food to feed all of us and then the world beyond. You meet heroes across a counter, and they're on both sides of that counter. There are entrepreneurs with faith in themselves and faith in an idea who create new jobs, new wealth and opportunity. They're individuals and families whose taxes support the government and whose voluntary gifts support church, charity, culture, art, and education. Their patriotism is quiet, but deep. Their values sustain our national life."

"In the days ahead I will propose removing the roadblocks that have slowed our economy and reduced productivity. Steps will be taken aimed at restoring the balance between the various levels of government. Progress may be slow, measured in inches and feet, not miles, but we will progress. It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles there will be no compromise.'

"I've not taken your time this evening merely to ask you to trust me. Instead, I ask you to trust yourselves. That's what America is all about. Our struggle for nationhood, our unrelenting fight for freedom, our very existence -- these have all rested on the assurance that you must be free to shape your life as you are best able to, that no one can stop you from reaching higher or take from you the creativity that has made America the envy of mankind."

"Well, I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children, and our children's children. And as we renew ourselves here in our own land, we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world. We will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not now have freedom."

"As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it, now or ever."

"I'm told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day, and for that I'm deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free. It would be fitting and good, I think, if on each Inaugural Day in future years it should be declared a day of prayer."

"At the same time, the federal government has cynically told us that high taxes on business will in some way “solve” the problem and allow the average taxpayer to pay less. Well, business is not a taxpayer it is a tax collector. Business has to pass its tax burden on to the customer as part of the cost of doing business. You and I pay the taxes."  

"There can be no security anywhere in the free world if there is not fiscal and economic stability within the United States."

"In short, a punitive tax system must be replaced by one that restores incentive for the worker and for industry; a system that rewards initiative and effort and encourages thrift."
"We must make the people a commitment, the kind of commitment that says if you work or save more tomorrow than you did today, then your reward will be higher. More of every added dollar that you earn will be yours to keep."

"It is time to put Americans back to work; to make our cities and towns resound with the confident voices of men and women of all races, nationalities and faiths bringing home to their families a decent paycheck they can cash for money."

"They want to rig the tax code to take back their tax cut as quickly as possible, and that way they'll be able to spend more and more."

"Now, I said the choice before us is a tax cut or a tax increase. The Speaker boasts that this tax cut of 15 percent gives a bigger break to the worker than our bill. And if you're only planning on living for 2 years, it does. [Laughter] But then bracket creep takes over, and the taxes start going up again." (Note: Reagan's tax plan did not last past the next presidency which was his own former Vice President!)
"What we need is for people to look ahead 3 years and be able to plan on the knowledge of a sure thing."

"In the meantime, we'll continue to study ways to simplify the tax code and make it more fair for all Americans. This is a goal that every American who's ever struggled with a tax form can understand."

"Tax policy, regulatory practices, and government programs all need constant reevaluation in terms of our competitiveness. Every American has a role and a stake in international trade."

"To me our country is a living, breathing presence, unimpressed by what others say is impossible, proud of its own success, generous, yes and naïve, sometimes wrong, never mean and always impatient to provide a better life for its people in a framework of a basic fairness and freedom."

"Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work -- work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it."

"The difference between the path toward greater freedom or bigger government is the difference between success and failure; between opportunity and coercion; between faith in a glorious future and fear of mediocrity and despair; between respecting people as adults, each with a spark of greatness, and treating them as helpless children to be forever dependent; between a drab, materialistic world where Big Brother rules by promises to special interest groups, and a world of adventure where everyday people set their sights on impossible dreams, distant stars, and the Kingdom of God. We have the true message of hope for America."

"So, we cut the people's tax rates, and the people produced more than ever before. The economy bloomed like a plant that had been cut back and could now grow quicker and stronger. Our economic program brought about the longest peacetime expansion in our history: real family income up, the poverty rate down, entrepreneurship booming, and an explosion in research and new technology. We're exporting more than ever because American industry became more competitive and at the same time, we summoned the national will to knock down protectionist walls abroad instead of erecting them at home."

“Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.”
