They need to take one cent away from the parishes.

That may affect my maid's gardener but not me.

Sales tax? What about the one percent on income tax?

I have a problem with everyone calling it a "one penny" increase. It is a "one percent" increase. I think describing it as a penny is trying to minimize the perception (with dumb LA people) of the impact of the increase.

Tax cheat. Serious not serious.

LA Consumer Use Tax
There is no logical difference between cheating on your sales tax and cheating on any other income taxes, except most people turn a blind eye to the former while criticizing the later.

It is actually a 25% increase. It is going from 4% to 5%.

I am ok with that as long as the right government cuts are made in conjunction

According to the article, it is a one penny increase unless I missed something.

Yeah, I never thought about that. I guess one penny on the dollar is the best way.

It's only a matter of time before they start taxing that too. 28 states already do.

Let's not get rid of lazy state workers that don't do shite, just tax the public some more to pay for them

Expires in 18 months.
Eta: Sales taxes are the only fair taxes. Illegals and undocumented (cash only) workers also pay when they spend.

It's been proposed by the governor and is heading to committee in a few days.
