I’m hoping but not counting my chickens.

but muh Landry only focuses on tigers and can't multi task

Where's all the Edward loving peta soy boys at that hated Landry

What the hell is the working poor?

So where will the money come from now if not from income tax?

Honest question

HB1 doesn't eliminate the personal income tax. It makes it a flat 3%.

But he only cares about the tiger commandments!

Hate to break it to you guys but this won't pass the LA senate.

Landry will claim it wasn't his fault, take the credit, nothing will change, business as usual.

If I'm wrong, I'll happily take it on the chin with my new golden jaw. But I want to be realistic.

Just looked it up knew most workers rate was 4.25%


Tax Bracket Tax Rate
$0.00+ 1.85%
$12,500.00+ 3.5%
$50,000.00+ 4.25%

Now, what would piss me off is if they cut income tax rate to 3% then up the sales tax 2%. Would be a Louisiana thing to do.

What defines the working poor?

Here is the bill. If I am reading it correctly, there is a 3% tax on net income. There is a $12,500 standard deduction. So I am assuming the definition of working poor is anyone making less than $12,500.
