No tax breaks out of Louisiana Legislature
 

The House let tax breaks die with end of session

Perhaps we should remember that next time there is an election.

Little late for that
 

The State takes and takes and takes they never give back to the ones that paid it in. LA is the most greedy state in the nation. I just paid my property taxes and that money will go to the jails and some to the schools and the rest to pet projects of the local politicians. This is the most unfair tax there is and it just goes up every four years so those sobs can have a good time. Our jails are full of people that should be in rehab or something else. I am not speaking of the rapist and murders and such but small time misdemeanors. Steve Prator needs his money to run the show. We have elected greedy little pigs to run our town now we must live with it. Yep its the swing vote that runs the show.

If we make a dollar and pay federal and state income taxes and then start a new business and buy a new piece of equipment, then add sales tax on top of that. Then we pay property tax on that equipment for 5 years as we depreciate it on our tax report. Sure you get a write off for the depreciated value, assuming your business makes a profit. The result is that only 1 in 5 new businesses lasts 5 years.

If we make a dollar and pay federal and state income taxes and then invest it in a home by buying a new piece of lumber, then add sales tax on top of that. Then we pay property tax on that lumber year after year forever. The result is the government gets almost half or more of every dollar we make. When the governments take well over half of everything we make, then this country will cease to be the great economic power that we are.
