diversify it into what? What industry do you think is going to flourish in this shithole? We had a film industry going, but then they decided to cut the tax credits and that killed that.
Whatever corp. you bring here will demand tax incentives. Soon as the local sheriff and unions decide that company isn't paying enough in taxes, they'll go after them and that company will leave. See DOW in Plaquemine or Exxon in BR.

And what sector of "new" industry do you think will find suitable employees in this state? You gonna find the next Mark Zuckerberg in Rayne? Satsuma? Ferriday?

Roustabouts with 10th grade educations may not solve your problems, but they aren't the problem either. They work and pay taxes, you stupid shite. Every F250 they drive and set of truck nuts you scorn produces the taxes you want to pay for things.

Every problem this state has is directly attributable to the Guv and Legislature. Until you have wholesale reform in those two institutions, you better suck off every one of those high school dropout roustabouts and all the other blue collar workers who are keeping this dump afloat. Cause there sure aint enough white collar alternative professions to satiate the blood thirst in taxes BR is craving.
