Gov. Sam Brownback was among the Republican governors praised for targeting income taxes in a Wall Street Journal editorial headlined “The Heartland Tax Rebellion.” The editorial quoted Brownback as saying, “Our goal is for our economy to look more like Texas and a lot less like California,” and concluded that was the right goal: “The tax competition in America’s heartland is an encouraging sign that at least some U.S. politicians understand that they can’t take prosperity for granted. It must be nurtured with good policy, as they compete for jobs and investment with other states and the rest of the world.”
