Not really. 12% is high, no matter where you are. 12% is still 12%.

Now I get it, you’re just a dumbass

Sales tax is always high in tourist towns.

This a big tourist town?

Farmerville is arguably one of the poorest towns in Louisiana - pop. 3,000
60% AA
30% White
10% Hispanic

Median Household Income $22,000 ; 55% poverty
Lake D'Arbonne (fishing) is the only attraction

I've seen a fight in the grass in front of Southern Classic.
May have spilled over from the Sonic next door.

Oh, I've stopped at that new gas station across the highway from them late at night on my way to camp and filling up to head back south...I've seen some stuff in that area when the good protestants have turned in, or at least gone to their shops to drink where the other church members won't judge them.

I did however just narrowly miss a shootout that turned into a hit and run one day though. The clerk behind the counter had quite the story to tell.

I quickly scanned the headline and read “Damn, who knew 12% of farmers have sex?”

I need glasses, ha

No. It’s a poor rural town.

Now I will say that there are some very nice homes on the lake, but I would assume those aren’t in the city limits.

So does Jonesville in Catahoula Parish

I should add, this was a restaurant too, so 12% tax and 20% tip (OT approaching baller, I am) and you thought the rent was too high? Woo
