Why Louisiana Stays Poor

[The Lawspeaker]

With all Louisiana's wealth in natural resources and industry, WHY DOES IT STAY SO POOR?
What Louisiana's Board of Commerce and Industry did to the poorest place in the country.

Louisiana’s abundant natural resources represent enormous wealth, yet the state consistently ranks at or near the bottom nationally for many quality-of-life indicators. Like other states, Louisiana grants tax exemptions to businesses it wants to attract, but some are questioning whether its unusually high rate of corporate subsidy is really paying off. Economics correspondent Paul Solman reports.

They wish they could take two shites with the White folk, so stuff themselves silly on stolen fried chicken and just feel like shite instead.

That's nice but whites also live in poverty. Louisiana is notoriously corrupt and let's be honest about it - the same social situation as before the Civil War: a small clique lording it over the vast strains of poor whites and poor blacks - is still very much around.

If blacks don't work, whites won't work either. It is common here in white / black cities mainly on the coast. Corrupt mayor and sometimes involved in local drug trafficking:






My city (which has no blacks). Low corruption, if do not do works in the city, the politician will not be elected.
