Kansas Republican leader says 0% corporate tax rate is next ‘big thing’ in private Zoom call

TOPEKA — House Majority Leader Chris Croft told Johnson County Republicans in private Zoom calls in May that he wants to drive the corporate income tax rate to zero next year, and he tempered his enthusiasm for trying to lure the Kansas City Chiefs across state lines with concern about Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly taking credit.

Croft, an Overland Park Republican, touted his success in getting out-of-state financial support to help preserve the GOP supermajority in the Legislature. But he attributed state spending increases to his own party being “drunk” on money.

House Minority Leader Vic Miller, a Topeka Democrat, responded to the audio in a statement and offered a suggestion to Republicans.

“Perhaps instead of seizing power from the executive branch — effectively undermining our democratic system of checks and balances — my colleagues across the aisle should look at removing representatives who pervert the process for personal gain,” Miller said.

How much is Koch paying them under the table for a 0% corporate tax rate?

1. It's Bad Enough That These Entirely Soul-less Enterprises Have Been Illegally Gifted with Citizenry

And not as if more than a fraction even do their reasonable share of tax-paying even now!

Hell No is the polite term.

2. Growing up in Amarillo Texas

a half century ago we were taught in school that the wealthy provide jobs so when they are taxed they can't provide as many jobs. There are so many people who aren't wealthy that we use most of the government's services so we should be the ones to pay for those services.

I bet a lot of the kids that I went to school with still believe that and, from what I see, I bet a lot of today's students are taught the same lies.

3. Corporations are people. I think I'll be a corporation.

Zero taxes for me, please.

4. OK, if you do the following as well...

1. Force owners of the said companies to pay personal wealth taxes based on their private ownership stake in said companies,
2. Set penalties for collusion, price-gouging, etc., that are serious and that would rival the tax rates these companies would pay if they truly were individuals,
3. Expect and require a serious effort by these companies to work for the good of the people who live in the communities in which the companies are located,
4. Set restrictions on the ability to do large-scale firings via layoffs as well as large-scale benefit reductions,
5. Require the payment of at least $5/hr more than the prevalent minimum wage,
6. Require serious and honest cooperation with government entities on issues such as pollution/climate, outsourcing, labor negotiations, etc.,
7. Provide more benefits for those large companies that go public rather than private.
8. Set up more rigorous requirements on political involvement, i.e., set limits on political contributions that are enforceable.
9. Disallow all business with true enemies of the U.S. (i.e, Russia, North Korea, Iran). Note that I did not include China here, although there is potential for them to move into the list, depending on their behavior.
10. Break up the giant behemoths into independent sections to encourage more competition.

Well, after looking at this list, I guess I was thinking on a more federal level. How stupid of me...

5. So this rethu wants no corp. tax, and corp. trucks can use and abuse our roads, sewers, sanitation systems etc...

They think that's fair.
