Kansas Senate Bill Substitute HB 2117
In May 2012, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed into law the Kansas Senate Bill Substitute HB 2117,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kslegislature.org/li_2012/b2011_12/measures/hb2117/ )〕 one of the largest income tax cuts in Kansas' history. The bill was introduced in January 2011, was approved by Brownback on May 2012, and became effective on July 1st in the same year.〔
The law eliminates income taxes for the owners of 191,000 businesses, and cuts individual's income tax rates.〔 The income tax cuts would provide 231 million in tax relief in its first year, growing to 934 million after six years.〔 A forecast from the Legislature’s research staff indicated that a budget shortfall will by emerge by 2014 and will grow to nearly 2.5 billion by July 2018.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kake.com/home/headlines/Brownback_To_Sign_Tax_Cuts_In_Statehouse_Ceremony_152569155.html )〕 The cuts were based on model legislation published by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
Brownback described the tax cuts as a live experiment, stating that “()n taxes, you need to get your overall rates down, and you need to get your social manipulation out of it, in my estimation, to create growth. We’ll see how it works. We’ll have a real live experiment.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2012/jun/19/brownback-gets-heat-real-live-experiment-comment-t/ )
In an op-ed dated May 2014 in ''The Wall Street Journal'', titled "A Midwest Renaissance Rooted in the Reagan Formula", Brownback compared his tax cut policies with those of Ronald Reagan, and announced a “prosperous future” for Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, by having elected the economic principles that Reagan laid out in 1964.
== Reception ==

The act has received criticism for shifting the tax burden from wealthy Kansans to low- and moderate-income workers, with the top income tax rate dropping by 25%. Under Brownback, Kansas also lowered the sales tax and eliminated a tax on small businesses.〔 The tax cuts helped contribute to Moody's downgrading of the state's bond rating in 2014. They also contributed to the S&P Ratings' credit downgrade from AA+ to AA in August 2014 due to a budget that analysts described as structurally unbalanced.
Brownback's tax consultant and supply-side economist Arthur Laffer said the cuts would support job growth, but the state has lagged national rates since. As of June 2014, the state has fallen far short of projected tax collections, receiving $369 million instead of the planned-for $651 million.
According to Michael Hiltzik in an article published on July 2014, job growth in Kansas is trailing behind the national trend, revenues are declining every month, and courts and state services as well as and healthcare and assistance to the poor have suffered as a results from the cuts. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the changes introduced by Brownback will cut the taxes of the wealthiest 1% of Kansans by 2.2%, while the poorest 20% of Kansans will see their taxes increase by 1.3%, and that the large revenue losses deepened the recession's damage to schools and other state services while not boosting the economy, and warns that “States considering deep tax cuts in hopes of sparking a surge of economic growth should look carefully at Kansas.”
Grover Norquist, defended Brownback’s tax cuts as “the right think for the economy”, and asserted that Kansas is in better economic shape than what has been described by critics, noting that 57,000 jobs were created in the private sector and more funds have been invested on education than in the past. He further asserted that Kansas “() provided a model, a successful model, that will phase out the income tax.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thehill.com/policy/finance/218449-norquist-defends-tax-cuts-despite-brownback-woes )
The editorial board of the ''Washington Post'' wrote in September 2014, that Brownback has undertaken “an extreme trial-by-revenue-deprivation in a state so clearly lacking the economic means to withstand it”, asserting that job creation and economic growth in Kansas are lagging those of its neighbor states, and calls these policies “radical” and an departure from the more pragmatic previous conservative traditions in Kansas. '
''The New Republic'' reported on the cuts as having a negative impact on public education, resulting in larger class sizes, increased fees for kindergarten, the elimination of funded arts programs and the reduction in janitorial personnel and librarians, and described Brownback's attempt to create a “conservative utopia” as failing to increase job growth.
Brownback's “conservative experiment” was described in the ''New York Times'' as a laboratory for policies that are “too far to the right”. As a result, more than 100 current and former Republican elected officials endorsed Paul Davis, Brownback's opponent in the 2014 gubernatorial race.
