The people who think Louisiana is a low tax state are either godawful at math, broke, or most likely both.

Exxon, Meta, SpaceX love Louisiana because they pay no taxes.


ExxonMobil: $156.6 million in Louisiana taxes in 2024. Meta: $22.4 million paid to Richland Parish in May. SpaceX: agreed to $20 million upfront, plus annual payments starting at $25 million in lieu of property taxes.

Debate whether the breaks are too generous. But “they pay nothing” is a hell of a way to announce you’re a moron.

eta: judging by the brief review of your post history, calling you a moron would be an understatement.

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

That observation should lead you to wonder why before making a proud declaration.

It has nothing to do with tax rate. Louisiana’s overall tax rate is higher than what Texans face.

Now fill in the blank. You can do it.

Hint: is Louisiana one of the poorest states?

yes, the 20-30 seconds i spent scrolling through your “recent posts” has taken significant mental real estate.

And that's just the average. For those of us that make well more than the average think about what that would be


Payroll, income state and federal, property and sales, I’ve probably paid that 575k since 2020.

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


You didn’t post the source and the image you posted cut off who created and what it is based on.

Stick to Facebook.

Middle of the pack taxes but worst services in the country. What a win!

Lots of selective framing going on in this discussion. I’d expect nothing less from the OT. Texas higher than LA? Wonderful. Florida lower than LA? So amaze. California and the Northeast the highest? Absolute arse.

It’s not just the OT’s fault though. It’s a shitty map overall because it doesn’t factor in any of the variables that are being thrown around. Which begs the question of why even bother posting it? But then I see who posted it and it all made more sense.

Maybe it assumes (bad assumption) you can use some context clues to figure it out

It’s a piece of the puzzle, it’s just more than a 5 piece so you can’t figure it out
