Jindal aims at ending income tax in Louisiana

January 12, 2013 11:14

Indian-American Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal today proposed to end individual and corporate income tax, which he argued would be able to attract more investment and people to his State.

"My goal is to eliminate all personal income tax and all corporate income tax in a revenue neutral way, and keep the sales tax as low and flat as possible," Jindal announced, which drew sharp reaction from some of the State lawmakers.

"This will keep more money in the pockets of Louisianians and send a message to businesses across the globe that Louisiana is open for business," he said in an email to his people in the State.
