Republican Governor Bobby Jindal said on Thursday he wants to eliminate all Louisiana personal and corporate income taxes to simplify the state's tax code and make it more friendly to business.

fyi
Reuters can’t be happy with this.
Jindal must be denounced as something. Racist. Gun lover. Christian. Quickly, Reuters! Quickly!!
:-(
How many percent is Louisiana’s income tax anyway?
sales taxes instead of income taxes GOOD.
Fair Tax...
Looks like somebody is running for president.
Sure hope so.
I have a different first choice now, but sure wouldn’t mind seeing Jindal in the mix as well.
The complete opposite of California.
Reminds of George Costanza of Seinfeld’s amazing success formula
Jindal/Ryan 2016!
Works for me. :)
Will attract the attention of businesses in other states looking for a new home for sure.
My first thought exactly.
Now, I wonder how New Jersey Governor Pork Porkie will respond?
Sales tax can be as high as 9% in some parishes. Different rates for food and other items.
Jindal talks like a real Republican.
He’s got some great ideas, and he gave ‘Meh. Romney.’s campaign a kick in the @ss. :)
Besides, American cannot have Governor Scott Walker, yet. Let him whip us into shape, and THEN we’ll unleash him to save the rest of our nation. :)
When Texas has their no sales tax weekend for certain items, generally the week before school starts, there is a huge stream of traffic from Louisiana to Texas. If they drop state income taxes, wouldn’t be surprised to see them do a tax free weekend also. Also wonder if they pass this if ‘Bama and Mississippi will do the same thing. Then none of the states on the Gulf would have state income tax.
Sorry D in W. Ryan was a deer in headlights during the Debates. All he did was parrot what was told to him with no real depth. Anyway he voted with Obama on the recent tax increase.
Louisiana also has a charity hospital program for the poor.
Jindal ran it for awhile before becoming Governor.
We've had the same here for at least the last two years.
I know. And so did our Ron Johnson...supposedly, they’re gonna live to thwart 0 another day! *SHRUG*
You’re right. It’s hopeless. Let’s just put a bullet in our collective head right now and end our suffering... *SNORT*
But seriously, a burning bag of dog sh*t would be better than what we’re stuck with NOW, don’t you agree? ;)
And NO ONE this side of Maggie Thatcher is CONSERVATIVE enough for me! :)

Works for me!
Might even think about a second res in LA
TT
Jindal to you is what the MSM makes him out to be. His administration is every bit, if not more “close to the vest”, as BHO. Cajun, you aught to know better. Might I suggest reading C. B. Forgotston?
Diana, Errant! Please do homework on Jindal’s pick, and current State Senate President, John Alario.. http://thehayride.com/2011/10/since-it-looks-like-our-masters-at-the-capitol-dont-give-a-crap-about-public-sentiment/
Jindal is not who you think he is...become a high information voter.
Jindal will also push for an elimination of ALL state corporate taxes. Louisiana’s now open for business
Ahem, never said I was a Jindal fan, in fact I'm not.
Do not support him for a presidential run, we can do a lot better with a real conservative, Jindal is not.
Do I think he would be better than the total trash in the White House now, yes.
I do support dropping corporate income taxes, for the simple reason it will bring jobs to Louisiana, we do need more jobs and industry here.
What happened with his school voucher plan? I heard some commie judge stopped it.
Hell, me, you or SgtBob would have been better than *Fast Eddy* :)
LOL, He just got out of the Big House!
Did ya see his new wife!!!
Fast Eddy still doing good for his-self.
As the late Justin Wilson would say "Why heeeeeelllllll yes" :)
And NO ONE this side of Maggie Thatcher is CONSERVATIVE enough for me! :)
You make my heart Pitter Patter. :)
Eliminate income tax ?f he pulls that off he’ll move to the front of the pack
one must give little bobby credit
he is always
thinking about how to make things better.
Lead by example.. Good work.
The one where not having sex makes him smarter?
LOL! Hey Cher - I’m gonna told you dis… That’s one happy couple, yeah! They both done got sumpin’ da other wants’ – I Garontee!!! ;)
No Ryan.
LOL! Good!
If!!!!!
This would be a good thing for Louisiana IF he can pull it off. It would put more money into the hands of the taxpayers/consumers, boost the business climate by a huge margin which should result in jobs and economic growth. Yeah, that ought to be “unconstitutional” somewhere in the federal regulations. Some commie federal judge somewhere will declare it “unconstitutional”. /s
The one where not having sex makes him smarter?
So it is true: Louisiana hillbillies are smarter than Illinois city slickers.
thanks, that was great! :)
Ever since Lee Atwater died, GOP consultant after GOP consultant has offered limp-wristed (new tone/compassionate conservative) drivel as how a GOP candidate should operate in a campaign.
