The Trump tax reform Kansas conservatives regret
By Tara McKelvey
BBC White House reporter

. . .
LeEtta Felter, a lifelong Republican, once hosted a "ladies tea" at her house in Olathe, Kansas, for Governor Sam Brownback, a proponent of radical tax cuts.
In 2012, Brownback led Kansas in its own tax reform, creating the "LLC tax break", which reduced taxes on income from pass-through businesses.
Pass-through businesses come in different sizes: they range from family farms to law firms, real estate agencies and hedge funds.
They have one thing in common, though: the firm's profit "passes through" to its owner and is taxed at the individual, not the business, rate.
