(Orlin Wagner/AP)The Kansas legislature finally put a stop to the predictably failed trickle-down tax-cut experiment it began in 2012. I’ve long argued there’s just no evidence to support the claims made by the trickle-downers, so I’ve closely watched the unfolding of the Kansas budget crisis. If facts could kill the myth of trickle-down tax cuts, I’d have given the eulogy at its graveside lo these many years ago. This is the undeniable thrust of the Trump budget and the House health-care plan. It is not immaterial that the same folks who pushed the Kansas cuts are behind the Trump cuts.
