Dear Editor,
I am extremely disappointed in my party after reading about the changes in our Kansas tax laws. Kansas House Bill 5182, signed into law by Governor Brownback punishes low income Kansans by eliminating the food sales tax refund. That is something low income Kansans depend on every year. Yet it eliminates Kansas Income tax on business income for sole-proprietors, farmers, rental property owners- including farm rental income, royalties, partnership or limited liability company income, Sub-S corporate income, estate and trust income.
It also eliminates tax credits for child day care expenses and a host of other damaging losses for low income and middle income citizens while giving great tax advantages to corporations.
The only tax credits that remain for low income citizens are the Homestead property tax and the earned income tax credit. I wonder just how long they will remain...
It's obvious who the legislature and the governor favor. I hope low income and middle income citizens of Kansas will remember who did this when they vote in April and November.

Maybe it's time to switch parties.
In Kansas, I couldn't vote in the primary if I did that and would have no voice or vote at all, Betty.
