80% Hurt by Tax Proposal, says Non-Partisan Research Group

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reports today that Gov. Brownback's proposed tax plan would increase taxes for the vast majority of Kansans, while cutting taxes for the richest of the rich. The Institute writes:

An ITEP analysis of the plan finds that the bottom 80 percent of the state’s income distribution would collectively see a tax hike under the Brownback plan, while the best off 20 percent of Kansans would see substantial tax cuts. For most middle- and low-income Kansans, the tax break from the income tax rate cuts would be completely offset by the loss of income tax credits and itemized deductions, as well as a higher sales tax rate.
