*WOW*

I love how this man calls out the politicians and not the corporations for this. Yes, some companies are awful; but we cannot survive without making a profit even as individuals and they do create jobs. To me, small businesses are the cornerstone of our nation. It always seems to be corrupt politicians who ruin things.

Republican run state, there's your answer. Top 24 states in poverty are ALL run by Republicans! I'm a Union Pipefitter in the Mid-Atlantic region. NONE of us travel to Louisiana because their wages are pathetic along with Right to Work rules and the worst in benefits!

this video changed my life. I left.

Corruption In all its glory. Every one of those on that board are business and corporate lackies!!! The lot should be sacked and fined the billions they have corruptly given to their mates

Republicans who act against every value they claim to represent, and sell their constituents down the river at every chance they get

Rich fertile farmland, amazing natural fossil fuel resources and pipelines throughout the country, one of the most important rivers in the world which connects to a gulf that can access both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. It's the way you people think and and act down here. It's your culture which I don't see you ever changing from. Worse school system in the country and you guys are not stupid It's all the bullshit you setup in the way of Life.

Louisiana is the RICHEST STATE, THAT HAS BEEN ALWAYS CONTROL! ENERGY REFINERY AND SHIPPING. THE PUBLIC-SCHOOL ARE DAYCARES. I drove to Louisiana for 30-years! been to every dock. MILLION ARE MADE JUST BY SUPPLING THE OFFSHORE RIG LAST 60 YEARS. THE FUNNY PART in 1990, as soon as you cross into Louisiana, you "hit" pothole, after pothole. HUEY LONG like JIMMY HOFFA, MEN who, (REALLY STOOD-UP FOR THE WORKING PEAPENTS.) CAN'T HAVE THAT, TOM FOOLFRY.

What can we do about it? Let's call these corrupt politicians out by name.

So why is the crap whole red state Mississippi worse than Louisiana 🤔🙄🧐

Sorry this is nothing new and as long as you can fool the white population you can get away with a lot

Follow up video.. anything change

Lets fix this, the culture is beautiful,

All those stats at they bragged about. I wonder how much of that was achieved through tax subsidies in the first place? Almost like they are related.

Culture

pave the roads, improve the schools, get rid of corrupt govt. officials, and make business pay more taxes, Huey Long knew how to make the state better

wealth is concentrated in one industry, oil and gas, but the wealth is not distributed, TX has a similar problem, oil and gas runs out eventually

So this discount is designed to entice business to come or stay. Can you guarantee that would stay if you put the taxes at the level like them to be? Not trying to nitpick, but often times when you change something, the other things do not remain the same.

It’s the education system in our parish!

When you accept and realize politicians are in office to do the bidding for the rich and to give middle class and the poor the illusion of having a choice. It all starts to make sense. They could change things by creating a living wage instead of a minimum wage but they won’t.

Bottom line is its because of the corrupt politicians

From a neighbor in Texas I wish y'all the best, thank you for advocating for responsible government like this. I've met so many kind and earnest people from Louisiana & served in the Army with them too. We got so many of y'all after Katrina, some went back & others stayed. I can see Texas veering towards a similar fate if we don't get our heads outta the sand about corruption in state offices. I wish y'all the best & want to see your state succeed.

Albany Ga is the same way that's why our middle class population have their anxiety about life itself which is sad and immoral

The teachers absolutely deserve the raises that have been withheld because corporations aren't paying their taxes.

You can see that these people really love their state. You can also see how much it pains them in their eyes. I hope they get justice.. this is very much a problem across the Deep South.

Wherever there’s a lot of racism…. You see a lot of poverty. The rich distract the people with race baiting so people won’t look into the corruption.

This was 5 yrs ago. Its now 2024, how much better is it under Bidenomics? I bet I can guess.

That's what happens when you fully believe that if we charge more taxes on industry they will leave, and you choose to do nothing.

Canadian Citizen here, specifically Albertan who works in Oil & Gas. its a damn shame that noone i work with will look at this video and go "man, thats what they're trying to do here". they'll just say "yea, they're running the state like a business" like its a good thing.

Holy Moly! Not good! 👫

Just came from visiting New Orleans and I couldn't believe the poverty just from visiting a major metro area. I can't fathom how the rest of the state looks.

The real question is why? What kickbacks are members of the board given? Has anyone investigated that? You wouldn’t just financially rape your home state without some insanely massive initiative.

The people there LOVE to vote for people like Huey Long and Earl Long and the old "Silver Zipper" himself Edwin Edwards. They LIKE these guys and all they do is pick their pockets and slap them on the back and they still vote for them. I ain't gonna change anytime soon either.

Got money for war, but can’t feed the poor! Smfh

😮 And still no change! Amerikkka sounds accurate

We definitely need a fair corporation tax structure. Exxon has bren abusing us for for 90 years.

They're going on and on. It's so much simpler to just get to the point. Poor states are poor, because their citizens accept the paradox of wanted Black people to be poor and/or powerless. Because they accept the premise that the majority of Blacks must remain poor and/or excluded from economic enterprise, they all suffer as a whole. It's rather obvious they're electing corrupt politicians. So ask yourself: what's really their motivations for voting the ways they do despite the continuing results of those votes? Some rather be poor than live comfortably and have to see "others" living comfortably too. LMFAO

It all started with Reagan

A red state, good ole boys,Time to vote common sense and not loyalty to same thing. If you can read, read a book and if you love yourself state show it 😢

Would yall recommend moving into the state from out of state?

Corruption. The government there cares more about Lsu football than anything else .

If Louisiana increases taxes on these businesses to the levels of a state like Texas, they will close down and move their business to states like Texas. The resulting loss in good jobs, sales taxes, and property taxes would be a disaster for Louisiana. The system needs reforming, but it's not as simple as these presenters are making it out to be. The root of the problem is too many people in that state want the government to take care of them instead of making their lives better themselves. It's all about sports, drinking, and partying over an actual career for way too many people. I moved away 28 years ago and every time I go back to visit, it gets more and more obvious that the people and their mindset are the problem. The political leadership is a reflection of the people. Louisiana is no exception.

A lot to just say democrats suck

???

You have to work outside of Louisiana to get paid and come back

Them old white folks that been having money since they came to the country before slavery during slavery and after slavery don’t wanna pay nobody in Louisiana white black Asian Mexican we are all broke and slaves every racist they pay everyone 10$ an hr them old super rich mfs is SUPER greedy and Louisiana will always be like that until those old greedy mfs die with those slave values

This is why the residents of Louisiana loved Hughie Long.He made the corporations pay.

Air tight. All goes up the roof. Vent 🪴 Pepper's 😊

im from maryland and its a similar case here, state has the highest median household income in the entire country yet myself and almost everyone i know are borderline impoverished living in homes that would be condemned anywhere else, with the city i live in the country area of (baltimore) never not topping charts for homicide rate and drug use

12:47 I'm from Louisiana. Moved away years ago. Never looked back. Until criminal business leaders are contained, nothing is gonna change. I love my home, but never moving back until the real criminals are kicked out. And not the People. ❤ and you cant blame the oil companies, its the politicians and legislation who control what entities are tax exempt.
