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.
Fck football and fck your tax plan!!!!
People he works for you And I think that this is an add to try to control you more. If he doesn’t say so you need a new governor.
Call his BLUFF
Not a democrat he is a communist!
We had a movie star who ran for President! People said he would never make a good President! He’s just a movie Star! Ronald Reagan was his name! And he loved America! We have a business man and he ‘s done very good in his business. No he’s not a career Politician? But he does love America just as the Reagan did. We gave Reagan a chance and we had a good America! And if you give Donald J. Trump a chance he’ll make us good again! Obama’s, Clinton’s has been running our Country and look where we are!? We have a black, Muslim, Racist that’s not from our country running America into the ground! No one in congress is doing anything about it! Obama want the Clinton, Bernie or even Cruz to come in and take over after he leave’s! So thing will get worse then they are right now! They will get worse! So we took a chance with Reagan why not take a chance with Trump and make America great again! Unless you like how it’s being run today? And remember they will bring in 65,000 Illegal’s a year and we will pay for them! The Muslim want our Country too! I want a change! I’m going to take the chance and vote for Donald Trump For President! He just might be our next Ronald Reagan that we loved so much.
So why would tax dollars subsidize a sports. We got vets living homeless on the streets. Get you dam priorities straight. Vote him out Louisiana
Get rid of the team and that pos governor.
Say good buy to him
sounds like goodbye to you next election
is this a threat?
