Shallow principled man leaves GOP: No one sheds a single tear

I can see disagreeing with a few Republicans on race issues. 

But there are racists everywhere -- even in the Democrat Party.

This fool, the former RNC Director of Hispanic Outreach who has switched his party affiliation to Democrat, is nothing but an opportunistic slug who should forever be shunned by politicians of both parties.

There is one part of the story about his party-switch that is, well, obvious: The RNC is an awful judge of character. That guy is obviously of shallow principle -- so of course, the RNC gave him a fancy job and title.

Fail.

Kansas bad, according to study

As a percentage of income, Kansas' poorest pay a higher amount in state and local taxes than their wealthier counterparts.

A study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reported that the poorest 20 percent of non-elderly Kansans pay 10.3 percent of their income in state and local taxes, while the wealthiest 1 percent pay only 3.9 percent.

You know what else the poor spend more on as a percentage of their income than the wealthy -- housing. Food. Transportation. Vacations. Healthcare. Pet care. The poor probably spend less as a percentage of their income on yachts and private jets, but that's probably about it.

This is math, people.

The only thing that would truly fix the disparity is a flat income tax rate that does not offer any tax breaks or incentives. (You'd also likely need to eliminate sales taxes and other governmental fees.)

But that's highly unlikely. Take away tax breaks and incentives and you eliminate the jobs of so many lobbyists!
