Kansas Common Sense: Tax Freedom Day

Statement

Finally, Tuesday was not only tax day; it was also "tax freedom day." Kansans had to work from January 1 until April 17th to earn enough money to pay off their share of federal, state, and local taxes. One hundred an seven days is simply too many days dedicated to paying Uncle Sam. Tax Day was a reminder of out deeply-flawed system that needs to be replaced with a commonsense system that is simpler and more growth-oriented. I stand ready to work with my colleagues on a comprehensive tax reform package that will allow more people to pursue the American dream.
