I know a microaggression when I see one.

What percentage of students would you guess are on academic scholarship

[cajundiehard]

No, literally just the rich people. They cut taxes for the highest bracket. They increased taxes on the lowest bracket.

And this was despite the fact that poor people already paid a higher effective tax rate than rich people in this state.

First of all: Poor people paying a higher rate is impossible in a graduated income tax - which we have here in Louisiana. Higher income gets taxed at a higher percentage. End of story. So, poor people can't pay a higher rate.

I'm not aware of this "rich people" tax cut you speak of. What change are you talking about?

Higher Ed gets enough money from tuition! To many useless bureaucrats running around!

You're over the target!

If I am not mistaken, the last tuition increase approved by the UL system board was in 2017. I would say that compounded inflation over those 8 years was probably over 25%.

If you think this is only going to happen at ULM you’ll be in for quite a shock.

Just remember, this is all happening because Jeff Landry and his party chose to cut income taxes for rich people (yes, ONLY rich people) and now there’s a huge budget shortfall.

lol nope but good try! And before you respond I am a financial advisor well aware of the new laws and this is factually incorrect
