Summary
Nine states cutting income taxes on January 1, 2025: Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, and West Virginia.
Most reductions occur in Republican-led states, with changes like flat tax rates in Iowa (3.8%) and Louisiana (3%).
Democrat-led New Mexico targets middle- and low-income taxpayers.
Proponents argue these cuts enhance economic competitiveness, while critics warn of potential public service impacts.
Several states plan further reductions in coming years.
Louisiana is raising sales taxes as a result, so this effectively is just more switching the tax burden to lower income people.
That’s just what the bootlickers want. They’re happy to pay more in taxes as long as it punishes “undesirables”
