Tax system lacks fairness

By Jerry Marsh

It has been a winter without snow, at least until the snow job from Sen. Richard Wilborn appeared in last week’s issue of the Independent Reporter, Page A12, for those who would like to verify my summary of his remarks.

Asked why he voted against HB2178, a bill that would have helped repair some of the damage Kansans have suffered with Gov. Brownback’s fiscal policy, he claimed to support a “fairer tax code” and one that did not add “a surprise payroll tax increase to hard working Kansans.” It was his expressed concern for tax fairness for hard working Kansans that I most want to call to readers’ attention.
