Of course it is. You have low intellect so you looked at the absolute number and factored nothing else in like states with similar demographics, percentage of income that goes to taxes, services provided for taxes paid, corporate v individual tax base, etc.

Not shocking you didn’t get it though

I mean, you can say all of that but it doesn't make you right.

I understand all of that, and know here LA stands nationally. But there are far worse things the OP could have pointed out as a "blow to Louisiana." It's not the "blow" that you seem to think it is.

Your god complex around here is a weird one, bruh.

The average Louisianan pays 94% average lifetime taxes as the average Texan but only makes about 84% of the median income. NOT GOOD!


In just glancing at that map, and not knowing the specific tax/median income situation of every individual state, it's hard to see that there is necessarily really any significant correlation with regard to this purported issue overall.

But I also don't know anyone who generally disputes that Texas is far better off in virtually all economic indicators than Louisiana either.

It's really not. So many bad arse places in Europe. Plenty of places with better quality of life, higher wages, better health care, better public services, cleaner, less crime, better/more scenic landscape

And that's just the average. For those of us that make well more than the average think about what that would be.

Also, imagine paying that much more to live in a shitty society like you experience in places like CA, IL, NJ, and NY. Yet they want to export that bullshite to the rest of the country.

Which ones immediately come to mind?

Also, taxes of any level do not affect the scenery and views. People always talk about California like their politics and policies somehow created the beautiful landscape Like, all those beautiful mountains and views would still be there if they weren't all fricking nut jobs taxing the life out of their producers.

Exxon, Meta, SpaceX love Louisiana because they pay no taxes. Only the citizens hate it because the pay the bill. What’s the problem?

Bergren. (though the taxes are very high if that's the only thing you are basing the decision on), Tolouse. Valencia. Prague. Quite a few others.

Europe is probably close to 100 times the size of Louisiana. Yes, there are plenty of places in Europe that are better to live than some methed out crime infested town in Louisiana.
