Louisiana Income Tax Cut Possible

[sbl_admin]

A move to cut state income taxes for Louisiana taxpayers who itemize deductions began in a Senate committee Monday, but the proposed compromise is just the starting point of negotiations.

I just can't understand why I get a refund on federal taxes but not state. At the same time I am not seeing my tax dollars at work either. Maybe I should move to New Orleans?

Well They are going to repeal some of the Stelly Plan. My question is why is a tax cut slowly phased in but a tax hike is immediately retroactive? I also love how the pundits say this is going to cost the state millions of dollars, why not tell us what it will save the taxpayers.

Be sure to bring a gun and watch your back....

Call me cynical but my nephew recently got mugged at gun point down there, so I have my reasons for b!tching a little. At this point, I would let them keep the extra billions if they would make Louisiana one of the top 5 safest states in the nation.. Heh heh heh, LOL, yeah right....

Well you can expect that as long as the Super dome is more important then the citizens of our state, that the "less fortunate" are going to turn to crime for their food and entertainment.

If the superdome didn't exist, our state would still be the same IMO. I would rephrase your comment and change only one word.....

It's our elected officials that are the problem, and if there is a problem with the superdome, it is because of them. I don't know about all of you, but I look forward to voting for some new names and faces in the next couple of years.

You are exactly right rhertz. These same a$$holes have been down there for years talking about change and doing nothing but wasting our money. Well we now have a very good opportunity for change and it is time to send them home.

Well I think that goes without saying. If the Saints fans were able to support their team, Mike Foster wouldn't have had to paid them $186 million over 10 years to stay. I simply use the Dome as a reference because it's about the most disgusting waste of tax dollars I can name in our state at the moment.
