Advocate Game


Raise taxes on cigarettes, end the movie tax credits, don't fund TOPS fully and you're most of the way to a budget surplus.

I eliminated the deficit and had about a 6% surplus.

This really isn't that difficult.

Does it show how much money I get to make from bribes and state contract kickbacks?

I wonder how much we'd save by cutting corruption, graft and waste?

Where's the option to close down failing universities?

end the movie tax credits


The movie tax credits are an incentive to attract more movies to be filmed in Louisiana right? If you take away the tax credits then there is no incentive to come here. How doesn't the tax credits hurt?

None.

That's a waste of taxpayer money... and it's also a local issue, not state.

have a constitutional convention to amend state constitution to allow for cuts other than to healthcare and education, get rid of about 1/2 the state workers, eliminate the waste and abuse and we would not have to raise taxes one bit

physicals and drug tests for welfare recipients

if you pass physical you have 3 months to get a job.
if you fail drug test you lose your welfare


I would dominate that budget.

Solved, eliminated deficit and generated 1.49% more overall revenue for Louisiana

Also lowered state sales tax. ...You're welcome

Who wants to vote for me?
