Louisiana’s newly elected Democratic Governor, John Bel Edwards, has proposed a package of tax increases to fix a $940 million budget deficit. Now, before you run off and grab a calculator to try and figure out what kind of numbers we’re talking about, consider the word “million” attached to the end of that $940 and let that sink in for a moment.
This won’t be a small, unnoticeable tax hike. It’ll be the kind of tax hike that casts a very large shadow over the finances of everybody who voted Edwards into office and those who didn’t.
How is he going to get something like this passed in a GOP-controlled state legislature, you might be wondering. Well, for starters, he issued a warning that should his tax package be rejected, “you can say goodbye” to the LSU Tigers, which is Louisiana’s biggest college football team.
He followed that “threat” by saying that campuses could run out of money and be forced to shut down. Not that that would actually happen, but is closing down a college a bigger deal than closing down the state economy?
Read what GOP treasurer, John Kennedy had to say on the next page.
But we will have to suffer the consequences,we did not vote for him.

Gold fringed flags tells you alot.
I think the state will say good bye to Govenor
LA needs to tell him see ya. Just another tax & spend liberal.
Hey stupid, there are 49 other states they can move to! Here’s an idea, let’s send all of Obama’s mslim imigrants to Louisiana. Six months-to-one year under this idiot’s leadership, they’ll be begging Washington to buy plane tickets, so they can go home.
****PLEASE READ**** ! ! My sons story, There are so many out there praying for us and wishing us well, this is how you know a sight is not actually associated with a celeb, if it were the celeb would have heard about it, My sons story would have been at least read by the celeb or someone working for them they would have been provided with so much proof it would make them sick crying over it and some one would have done something by now. I am still praying it will happen. INTERESTED in doing the right thing?? Championing a special needs child Being abused while it is ignored by everyone in the state of Illinois simply because he is different and they refuse to admit that not only does it happen but that it is a frequent and growing issue across this country ?? If nothing else can you look at the post on my wall at his story that I have been posting? thank you and that story is why I have been repeatedly posting as replies on your posts for over a month now. Thank you. PLEASE READ MY WALL AND SHARE !!
I live in Louisiana and I sure as hell didn’t vote for him! He tried to paint an image of himself being a “conservative democrat”. There is no such thing. Edwards WILL without a doubt destroy Louisiana’s economy!
Not if we get Ted Cruz in the Whitehouse! Flat tax for everyone and abolish the IRS!
