The average Louisianan pays 94% average lifetime taxes as the average Texan but only makes about 84% of the median income. NOT GOOD!

In any event, taxes be high as shite

I don’t even want to think about it.

Throw Social Security on top of it it’s got to be in the millions for a 40 year working career for a two income family.

This isn’t some of your best work tbh. Rates would be high if there were a lot of welfare recipients

My wife and I pay over $45k in fed tax a year, plus SS, we'll get back pennies on the dollar (compared to if I had that money to invest myself), if we get anything by the time I'm 67.

Property taxes, $5k, state income taxes, sales tax nearly highest in the country.....it never ends. Homeowners insurance $10k, some of the highest in the country, auto insurance, some of the highest in the country.

Why do I live in Louisiana again?

Better than Europe I guess.

Fackers ought to be ashamed of themselves --- case in point

Home value has steadied, tax levied is neutral
Exempt from school tax [age related]
All of a sudden, our lot where our home has rested since 1979 has all of a sudden increased in value - taxable amount increases

Another Blow for Louisiana

LA is one of the lowest amounts in that chart though.

I’m right there with you. Close to the same income I’m assuming and I’m only 34, which makes me think I’m definitely not getting SS

While other southern states were trying to run off goldbricking, freeloading bastards John Bel Edwards expanded the Medicaid rolls and laid out a welcome mat for more of the worthless.

In a state where most of the working work for the damned government, nearly everyone is on the dole. Louisiana has one the largest budgets per capita in the country because of it.

No wonder there's barely any private companies in this state.

That doesn't even make any rational sense.

But I bet it made you feel real nice on the inside.

Of course it is. You have low intellect so you looked at the absolute number and factored nothing else in like states with similar demographics, percentage of income that goes to taxes, services provided for taxes paid, corporate v individual tax base, etc.

Not shocking you didn’t get it though

It actually makes me feel sad inside because somehow, the average person is as retarded as you

Divide those by 40 and you get the yearly amts (or 45 if you want), Then divide by 12 for the monthly amounts.

Since the average anybody includes almost half that don't work, it is a lot, don't want to depress anybody.

But taxes in LA for families should drop dramatically once all the data centers are paying in to the system right?

They won't declare bankruptcy before taxes come due nor would Baton Rouge just piss away everything they anticipate collecting before they actually get it...... Right??

There's no magic lottery or data center coming to save anyone.

The only way to cut taxes is to get the freeloaders off the teet and Louisiana likes to invite instead of run off.

John Bel loved that temporary federal money to have a "surplus." He was gone before the bill actually comes due.
