Why is Louisiana lagging the nation in economic development?


That’s a very easy answer, we tax the frick out of businesses to the point that they don’t want to come here or they leave. We don’t actively seek industry to come and break ground here and we’re too dependent on one industry. And we have an abundance of welfare queens in this state.

That’s a pretty easy fix. It’s much more difficult South of the border seemingly.

I agree whitey is messing up big time. I am completely shocked as to why so many brown and yellow people will do literally anything, risking their life and their kids lives to come to this terrible place

Well at least you admit part of the problem is the citizenry

Not really. It's a positive feedback loop in LA. Can't attract industry because the talent isn't there. The talent isn't there because the industries aren't there.

It's not an easy paradigm to fix.

Don't worry. There is one thing that won't change.

When the White children grow up. They will still be expected to pick up the tab.

They will also be expected to take the blame for the failures of the "children of color".

It’s not as hard as you’re making it sound. We (our government) have got to cut taxes on business and then go out and sell the state to business to recruit them to come here. The talent will come with the industries.

Of course the citizenry is pay off the problem. We put the people in charge up there.

Why do they think hispanics aren't white?

Not nearly to the extent that blacks are pretty much a monolithic voting group

You might say it's about on par with how white males vote if anything



how many white males are Democrats in the us house right now?

or any other part of government?

I don't know if you quite understood what I meant but you're more than welcome to do that research on your own. If I could tell you those stats I'd be embarrassed to know such things off the top of my head.

It's impossible to say "person of color" or other such variants without sounding like a pretentious douchebag. Change my mind.

I'm just looking forward to the day "person of color" becomes racist like negro, colored person, etc. when the new SJW phrase du jour comes along.

It probably will be considered such sooner rather than later

And perhaps with some logic to it. If for no other reason it lumps too many people into one category with no meaningful distinction. It essentially just means "not white" which gives no useful information about anyone other than they're not white.

And easy to attribute all your own success to yourself when you're born in the greatest country in modern history

I'm certainly not dumb enough to think my life would have turned out as well had I been born in El Salvador or some other similar country

I think the point is it happens to relatively the same extent

Immigrants are upwardly mobile especially once you get into the second generation

Demographers project that whites will become a minority in the U.S. in around 2045, dropping below 50% of the population.


That't not how that works. They may not have over 50%, but will still be the most populous. You can't group every other ethnicity together and call the new miscellaneous race the majority.

Whites will be a minority but will still be the plurarity

There will be no majority at all

Correct

And people will try to pretend it isn't the case even though they don't know any hispanics
