Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) will put forth a tax reform proposal that would seek to eliminate Louisiana's state income and corporate taxes and increase the state’s sales tax.

Jindal’s office confirmed those reports on Thursday to The Times-Picayune.

A report in the Monroe News Star indicated the sales tax would increase from four to seven percent, but, according to the Times-Picayune, Jindal’s office has neither confirmed nor denied the story.

The governor explained:

Eliminating personal income taxes will put more money back into the pockets of Louisiana families and will change a complex tax code into a more simple system that will make Louisiana more attractive to companies who want to invest here and create jobs

Tax reform will remove administrative burdens from families and small businesses and improve Louisiana's business prospects; create more business investment opportunities with increased job growth; and raise the state's profile in national business rankings.

Yes!

Watch all the oldster roll out and complain that the tax burden is being placed on them instead of the working stiffs. They're jerks like that.

Oh they are doing just that. The stupid is showing big time in the comments here.It's not the oldsters but the typical dem voter.

Way to go Bobby!!

The morons in this state can't figure out that all the good jobs left here for Texas because of the state income tax and the corporate tax structure. So many of them are so damn stupid that they don't realize that it's not the federal income tax and their free money via the EIC. I can't stand those slugs.

Yes, but I bet this will fire up the Louisiana economy.

It will. Bobby has done a really good job in getting some key manufacturing jobs here. Our economy has been pretty good considering.

Income tax on an individual earning $50,000 in Lousiniana is currently $3000 (6%)

For a married couple earning $50,000 income tax would be $2000 (4%)

Eliminating that would be a nice boost in disposable income for taxpayers.

The only ones kvetching are the low income people. This will also lure back some who moved to Texas to get out of paying income taxes. My brother works in a field where he is rarely home and makes a lot of money. He got tired of paying for services he's not receiving and moved his legal residence to Texas. He has a lot of friends who have done the same. Heck, traveling on major holidays shows a lot of people with Texas plates and LSU/Saints emblems. It would be a good way to reverse the brain drain.

Here's WWL's facebook comment feed. You really can see the difference between the leeches and the taxpayer.

People have been moving to texas and florida for years to avoid state taxes. Too many new yorkers in florida to move there, so upper la would be ok.
