How about Landry try and forcibly displace the significant chunk of the state population that lives off welfare/government assistance? No amount of tax reform will do shite to bring companies to your state when close to 30% of the population is illiterate and don’t want to work.

No, much smarter people in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

Do you want the ten commandments in the classroom or not. You can't have both. So greedy...

Can it be? Sure. It CAN be... but a lot would need to happen.

Not until we have much less government corruption, at all levels

I’d rather have a community of ambitious, driven students who throw fits if they all get Bs on an exam. I’d rather have that than a community full of idiotic hoodrats/white trash students who don’t give two shits about their education and can barely read bathroom signs. If not having the Ten Commandments in the classroom means better academic performance, then so be it.

What you say is true, and is actually a better indication of Louisiana's chances to be The New Leader of the New South under Landry, but you never see that acknowledged in The Hayride.

Get rid of or set a small flat income tax.

Adjust sales tax
Get rid of property tax

I've never looked but has someone done a comparison of all taxes to every state and how it fleshes out?
I’m sure there’s something somewhere.
Here’s how I look at it. Living in Louisiana, was paying state income tax, MUCH lower property tax, and typically a bit higher sales tax rate vs Texas. Also, paying for kids to attend private school.
In Texas, no state income tax. MUCH higher property tax. Sent the kids to the local public school that provides a way better education than the private Catholic school back home. Local roads a shite ton better too.

Until we address public education, no real company is coming here.
We'll get the plants and refining deals, but no tech, finance, or headquarters.
That's just a fact, and we all know it to be true.
Parents make public education, not governments.

I'm good with keeping an income tax if the alternative is high property taxes.
Reason I prefer the property tax alternative is because it means more of my tax dollars are staying local, with the school district and county. When income taxes are the main funding method, you’re then having your legislators once a year begging daddy at the State Capitol to please help fund our district.

Certainly not with Louisiana voters.
Louisiana’s best chance is to be annexed by Texas.

sickly Louisiana economy inherited from Governor John Bel Edwards.
lol this is disingenuous. Louisiana sucked long before JBE. Jindal was a neo-con but his first order of business was reducing state employment numbers, and had he kept going he could’ve decreased the size and scope of govt. Govt is the problem. Make it cost less, that reduces expenses, then allows for lower taxes.

Don't think smart people are rushing to move to Louisiana with it's current culture
