There is another kicker in the mix. Louisiana has a relatively high $75,000 homestead exemption. Therefore, the only tax I pay is $32 for the local fire district assessment, which is treated differently.
But we have a sales tax of around 9%.

Don't take this personal AS -

But I don't like Louisiana's Homestead Exemption law.

Because the poor typically rent, they are not eligible for this exemption. However, they still have to pay that 9% tax on everything else. That means only the rich benefit from this Law. [V]

At least in LA they exempt groceries. Some states don't exempt groceries.
