Louisiana has highest sales tax rate in the nation

These kinds of statements are pointless without some kind of assessment on other forms of taxation.

More money for the local Pols to launder

Keep your receipts and write it off....

Portions of EBR are in the same area.

Zachary has higher sales taxes for the schools and I believe the Americana area of Zachary has additional taxes on top of that.

To reference Reservoir Dogs, the Walkons waitress better take me in the back and suck my dick for over 10% tip.

LP is voting on an additional 1% perpetual sales tax for teachers in a few weeks.

more people would vote for these if they thought the money would actually be used for the intended purpose. but, that doesn't happen.

I'd rather have a higher consumption/sales tax vs having higher income or property taxes.

At least we have no income tax like Texas and Florida to help us stay competitive in this cut throat business environment

Where does Louisiana rank on property taxes in the nation?

I live in Texas which has no state income tax but high property taxes. The property taxes are assessed at the county and city level and are mostly geared to funding the local public schools. I've also lived in Kansas and they did the same thing with property taxes. Over a period of time, the best public school districts stand out and become known to everyone. People who value good education (and can afford it) are more likely to move to those areas. Conversely, people who don't give a shite tend to end up in the areas with the worse performing schools. The school districts are not at the county level. There should be about 5 school districts within a heavily populated county. The school districts compete with one another and residents are free to move to the school district of their choice. Competition is good. This is how you get your St. George!
