Spinoff: what steps does Louisiana need to take for success

Not sure

Yes

Solid edit

if there really was a way to fix things it would be happening in at least 1 of the 50 states. the fact is one of you will always have a large poor class and its always been that way under every system of government that has ever existed

-Eliminate state income tax
-Drop corporate taxes to nearly nothing
-Cut the unnecessary universities, and use the extra funding to beef up the bigger schools
-Invest a shite ton in charter schools, employ school choice, spend more on Magnets and less on prison minor league systems

Essentially, incentivize poors to move out or obtain gainful employment, all the while incentivizing businesses to come here.

None of this will ever happen

Offer $8000 for vasectomies

Not joking

Think of the amount of young irresponsible males that never wanted children and that are leaving kids to live a life with a single mother

Now imagine if someone told them they never have to have kids AND get $8000 tax free

They would jump all over that

It would be expensive at first but think of the money the community would save by these folks not putting children in the community that end up costing the community much more than $8000 a piece

Revamp the Constitution with an aim of local control, many models to follow

Abolish State income tax and keep parish/school/property taxes local

5% across the board reduction of State employees, no one exempt, to include LSP, Universities, and the likes

1.



2. Restart

Use the money saved for lower education & to build bigger jails to keep criminals off the streets
