"I will tell the people what's going on at the statehouse. I'm going to treat the capitol as a borderline crime scene. ... If businesses don't have to pay taxes, the burden should not be on those trying to feed themselves." - The Valley Falls Vindicator & Oskaloosa Independent, March 3, 2016.

Across Kansas the top 1% are looting and on-the-loose, pitting us against each other. Communities in Jefferson County need to democratically prepare themselves for food and energy autonomy.

Letter to the Editor


Submitted to the Oskaloosa Independent & Valley Falls Vindicator,
March 11, 2018

Suggesting the bothersome fact, as I and others have for more than 2 years, that nearly 12,000 Kansans make more than $358,000/yr. and 1,200 have an average income of $7,000,000.00, declare a cause for celebration this St. Patrick's Day, 2018.

The fairy airs of our local leprechauns who fancy themselves of the ruling classes based on reported incomes in Jefferson County displays that few, if any, make such an enormous amount of money, and their facade of all-knowing authority melts like foam in a strong lager.

House Bill 2618 appeared this week before the Committee of Taxation, sponsored by Rep. Tim Hodge, North Newton, Ks. of the 72nd District declaring a 10% state income tax rate upon those making more than $500,000.00 a year. A dragon slayer has made a fleeting appearance before the statehouse gangsters of plutocracy and this Kansan deserves a hat tip and a toast from those celebrating this Irish holiday.

According to supporting research, Hodge provided to the committee by none other than the Chief Budget Officer of the Department of Revenue Larry Campbell an additional $310,000,000.00 would be provided to the 2019 annual budget, more than repairing the damages done in the years since the plutocratic gangsters took over the government.

Witness how our Rep. Ron Ellis defends, as a slave to the aristocratic impulses of partisan tyrants, his membership in committees that blackmail his votes in the well of the House.

He needs to be lending his legislative talent to Rep. Hodge shielding the likes of Rep. Hodge, North Newton, Ks. else next November Election Day 2018 the voters will prove, as the Great Bard wrote, "base is the slave that begs."
