Poor Businesses....

Yesterday, a wichita radio station played a recorded ad about how screwed over ks. businesses have been under obama. To make us all aware of the situation..

"How mightily they have struggled..how well deserved they are to get a pass on paying taxes. And now with businesses picking up and all, to kill the tax bill would be a tragedy." ..An approximation of the msg...from guess who? Americuns for prosperity..

So if all is goodness, then what is this all about?

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (Reuters) - More than 7,000 state employees in Kansas would be furloughed on Monday if state lawmakers cannot agree on a new annual budget by midnight on Saturday, state officials said on Friday.

The Kansas House and Senate are trying to make up an estimated $400 million revenue shortfall in the wake of tax cuts engineered by Republican Governor Sam Brownback in recent years.

The state notified 7,109 non-essential executive branch employees they would be subject to unpaid furlough on Monday, said John Milburn, legislative and public affairs director for the state Department of Administration.
