Louisiana has been a corrupt shithole since before the LA Purchase. If nothing else we’re consistent.

The Voters.

They were dumb sheep. And all of them. Black, White, Republican, Democrat.

They kept reelecting people like Huey and EWE that screamed they were for the common man while their corruption hurt no one more. Union people were blindly ignorant for voting in EWE over and over while he made Louisiana a Right-to-work state. Normally, being such a state would attract business but the need for payoff kept many of those away.

In the cities they continually re-elect Progressives who steal the money meant for those they preach to help.

The Republicans accept people like John Alario and Jay Dardenne as one of them and bend over for the Democrats if it involves making sure they keep power and their graft.

The stupidity of the average Louisiana voter is the problem.

Laissez-faire attitude and living. Turning a blind eye to corruption and accepting it as part of the culture in doing business. Nepotism.

Thomas Jefferson. We stretched from the Gulf all the way to Canada and as soon as the check cleared he started chopping us up.

You said "last 50 years" so I'll resist the urge to say "the people who said the economy would collapse without slavery" and instead say "the people who said the economy would collapse without immigration."

Why Louisiana Stays Poor

This video explains why Louisiana sucks very well. The TL;DW - we give enormous tax brakes to companies, even relative to other states. Probably because our elected officials get my kick backs for helping them out.

The Long and Edwards political machines are heavily to blame.

However, it should be noted that the voters get the government they deserve.
