“They are stealing money from everywhere they can,” a retired postal worker from Prairie Village told me. “From kids. From our pensions. From our health care. From things we need. It’s ridiculous.” “I don’t know where the money is going,” said an engineer from Kansas City, Kansas. “They said businesses would flock to Kansas, but clearly that hasn’t happened. They said that more money in rich people’s pockets would flow down—but those people are just keeping it and we are getting screwed.”
