I don't believe state finances are bad because they are not taxing enough people. But because they are wasting too much people's money in things we don't need.
I just saw the other day that some cities in Louisiana, spent thousand of dollars from BP money on buying some iPads! Yeah, the money that should be for cleaning up the beaches from oil spill. And I am not saying the oil disaster was good, but I do not believe USA or State government is reinvesting any tax or private sector money, in a proper way.
So now we do have a company that is very successful and is making millions because a great business model. Why instead of forcing taxes to Amazon and similar companies, we don't stimulate those kind of business providing exemptions to local warehouses; those places still need people to operate, that will generate state's revenue and employment.
I'm disgusted with all the tax stuff! Regardless of the political party. I see no improvement at all.
