Tax cuts for the rich made Kansas broke — so now Republicans move to raise taxes on the poor

"Let’s say you’re the Governor of Kansas. The tax cuts for the rich you pushed through a couple years ago mean you’re in a world of budgetary hurt, and you’re not sure how you’re going to pay for basic expenses like roads and schools this year.
