Bobby Jindal calls for elimination of LA corporate and income tax

[Keith and stuff]

This is just smoke and mirrors so Fox can pump him up as this fiscal conservative and make him presidential timber to steal Rand's thunder.

I don't think so. A crazy idea like this will greatly hurt his chance to run for president. If this passed, this 1 issue would be enough to prevent him from winning a general election. After the media got done with this issue, to the average person, it would be much worse than anything Romney or McCain was accused of doing.

It's the right direction. If we are going to have a Federalist State, something I don't see going away anytime soon, I believe that States should be limited to collecting a consumption tax and the central government should be limited to a tariff. Limiting the avenues of taxation creates transparency and reduces corruption.

Tariffs? No thank you.

 

[KrokHead]

I'm more concerned about the budget than taxes at this point, but as long as Jindal can balance the books this will be a huge plus for people who work.

Would you rather fund the Feds with an income, sales or property tax that you will pay directly? I would rather the government stay at the borders of the country where they belong and uniformly tax anything that enters. Easy, effective, and non-invasive. Best of all they stay out of my life, my bank account and my business.

That or corporate taxes. Individuals without companies shouldn't have to worry about sales or income taxes. The whole idea is crazy.

Yup this will raise property taxes through the roof over there. If you enjoyed a low tax % on personal and you own, you'll see an increase in what you actually pay most likely.

If you rent, it'll be awesome for you.

Its called indirect taxes. As more tariffs build and we become a protectionist state monopolies will form and the prices of all goods and services will rise. You will be taxed and it will be invasive.

Low Rate Flat Tax on Consumption. Sole Tax. Nothing more nothing less. To pay for the bare necessities, Courts, Police, and Military.

How will you keep only that "low rate" of consumption tax, and how do you keep the ultimate monopoly institution, with its own legal system and enforcement arm, from making its own rules and expanding its own power?

like i said --all states need a certain amount of money to operate --, it all comes down to is where they get it , at the end of the year they will have the funds they want.

i guess it comes down to if you have a dog in the fight.

i know here in ariz the stupid cities around phoenix try to out do each other to give business money to locate to their city ( car dealers/malls/sports ) , who pays ?? you are correct , its us. i would add after 5-10 yrs the auto dealers leave for more money , the malls close , sports need bigger and better things .

my best guess legacy costs are going to break 1/2 of the cities in america in the next 20-25 years.

Renters pay property taxes too. It in is included in your rent.

a bounch of bs , all states need a certain amount of money to operate , they will get their money somewhere else.

take states that have no income tax like fla/tx , check their property taxes , a 200k home tax is over $3,500 , fla knows the people that retire in fla don't work and do buy homes , so fla taxes their homes .

here in az i have a $150,000 home and my taxes a about $1,000 a year.

i would like to see others post their home real values and their yearly tax on their home , like i said all goverments will get the money somewhere.

i do agree the northeast states taxes are crazy large.

1k is manageable. In NJ people in my town have homes that are up to 10k a year property tax.

Though taxes are truly lower in some states like NH, TN and NV. Also, taxes feel truly lower in some states like AK, WY and TX because mineral/oil/gas companies pay so much of the taxes.

i do agree the northeast states taxes are crazy large.

Except New Hampshire.

Why so much hostility to this idea and so much support for tariffs. I thought this was the ron paul forum. What I said was exactly ron pauls plan as far as taxes are concerned though recently he has gave support to a 10% flat Tax.....

Ron Paul isn't opposed to a flat, uniform 10-20% Tariff. This was Chuck Baldwin's position in 2008 and Dr. Paul supported him. Regardless, I'm not in lock step with Paul on every issue. I am in line with Thomas Jefferson on this one. The only place the Federal Government has in our society is on the borders dealing with foreigners. Immigration, Defense, and Diplomacy should be paid for by a uniform tariff at the Federal level. Courts, police, roads (for now), and schools (for now) should be paid for by a uniform consumption tax at the State level. No other taxes should exist. Land should be owned and maintained through the homesteading principle.

I agree with this.

Jindal is a neocon.

I don't support tariffs, either. And how recent are we talking? 1982?

Read Liberty Defined for Ron's position on tariffs.

Good. And for what the 10% Flat Tax or the Sales/Consumption tax? Actually im not sure on the dates of either but I can get it.

I dont agree with Paul on everything either but a 10-20% (20%!!!!) Tariff is ridiculous. Also if we get rid of the welfare state we should push for open immigration. Besides that I agree with everything else youve said.
