Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback thinks he has figured out a way to prop up dying towns: No income taxes!

Brownback wants to give people who move into shrinking counties a five-year exemption from state income taxes. Sounds great. One problem, though. There are no jobs in these places to produce the income from which taxes are withheld.
