You're right, frick it. Trash the place as long as Bobby can buy a bass boat with his overtime money.

You act like the taxes from the ongoing jobs directly and indirectly created from this, the taxes on products sold to support these projects, etc isn't enough to justify the huge boom this will be for Louisiana.

That's not counting the taxes that these refineries do pay as it is.

If it bothers you so maybe you should move to a state like Cali that has killed off all of it's industry with it's unfriendly business taxes and is on the verge of being bankrupt. Cali has huge taxes and penalties on air pollution too and look what good that has done for them. Smog everywhere and a dwindling tax base to do anything about it. I just read an article where Cali isn't even number one in the world in movie making anymore. Guess who is though? Louisiana.

Or maybe you can move to Detroit where taxes and unions have forever drained and killed any chance of that state ever having any thriving industrial production facility ever again.

If you want to be upset about something, you should be more upset Louisiana gets raped so hard on it's offshore drilling royalties. That is far more damaging to us than anything IMO.
