It does not take a focus group, foundation, or research panel to understand why the educated and skilled citizens of Louisiana decline to participate in our labor force. First and foremost, the majority of the open jobs in Louisiana do not pay a living wage. Secondly, the working conditions are often uncomfortable at best and most likely hazardous. Third, there is an unparalleled level of opprobrium directed against potential employees by employers. Take a few moments to browse the classified ads in the Baton Rouge paper, and you will find an overwhelming amount of intrusion into the privacy of individuals for even the most trivial positions. And finally, our local economy is little more than the petrochemical industry and state government. All other industries are loathe to engage in our socialist taxation experiment.

Reading in-between the lines:
1. Louisiana cannot attract new or expanding businesses without multi-million dollar bribes.
2. Existing local manufacturers and small businesses will be excluded from the deal that they are funding through the Cuban-style socialist tax structure in the state.

Here is a perfect example of the type of economic reform we can expect from the financial wizards at the state capitol. High salaries for public officials and police are bankrupting Vallejo, California. Sound familiar?

And why doesn't the Louisiana/Baton Rouge press ever address the crushing fiscal debt incurred by our Dept. of Corrections, which happens to be the largest expenditure of state government. Because this is the real "booga-booga man" that has been used to intimidate and terrify voters.
