Is Kansas a Conservative or Moderate Republican State
Kansans face a shift in the GOP with conservatives pressing to oust moderates in primaries. The Kansas Journal-World notes that 2012 primaries could decide whether the party settles on a more conservative agenda under Governor Brownback, with groups like Americans for Prosperity funding campaigns. The piece asks if the state will elect a conservative majority in both houses and move to a tougher agenda.

George Will argues that redistributive policy enlarges government and shifts power to favored factions. He critiques transfer payments, especially to the elderly, sugar subsidies, and the tax code, claiming they distort markets, foster envy, and nourish a class allied with redistribution. He cites data on wealth gaps by age and questions the net societal benefits of such policies.
