"Personally, I'm wondering how much more the taxpayers are supposed to pick up to pay for Louisiana. As for me, I'm sick and tired of it. It's time for these people to pull up their bootstraps, and figure out how to take care of their own problems."
Louisiana is beginning to figure it out! There is a new plan being discussed - a plan to levy a tax (4%) against major Oil and Gas producers in Louisiana, something akin to a land use tax on the thousands of miles of pipeline getting the gas and oil out of Lousiana to other parts of the country. These majors would have no choice other than to pay it. They would then turn around and pass that tax on to consumers at pumps across America. It would generate BILLIONS for the State of Louisiana. Americans will helf fund the Lousiana recovery every time they fuel their vehicles whether they like it or not. Rest assured, Lousiana is getting dangerously close to getting "it" figured out. Some politicians in Lousiana aren't as stupid as some want to protray them. In a sense, because of their abundance of Natural Resources on land and off their coast, Louisiana has the Nation and Americans at their mercy and the State is just beginning to wake up to that fact. Time will tell how all this shakes out. Stay tuned!

It is only right that Meemaw Blank-o and Chocolate city man take lessons from commrade Chavez. When they do this, I hope Louisanna's commies are good at pumping the oil because private industry might object to the lie that the State suddenly owns privately owned "resources." I'm sure the American people will sit by and permit these incompetent cleptocrats a nation-wide tax, too.
We need Meemaw on teevee threatening the Nation - give us billions or we are taking over the oil. Have the stubbly faced thing bawling in the background about how Bush killed his mama. : )
