It is sad when the state (and some people) think that paying the Saints to stay in Louisiana is only way things get done In Louisiana. That without the Saints we will go down the drain.
What about the taxes we pay now,sales tax,income tax, property tax, luxury tax, sin tax, gas tax,this fee, that fee, and on and on. The cost of living is going up but the minimum wage isn't.The cost of living is going up but the dollar is going down.
You people think the state cares about you or me
I don't think so.
I think caring about this dam war and them kids
that are coming home in body bags is more important than the Saints. The cuts to health care and sky rocketing health care cost are more important. If they would take the millions if not billions of dollars they are spending to keep the Saints and spend it on health care and teacher pay raises, it would be money well spent.
If the "over paid welfare recipients in Washington and Baton Rouge would take a cut in pay we could afford to keep our hospitals and clinics open. They have the best health care and retirement benefits the taxpayers money can buy while we have to struggle or do without.
I don't have very much education, I have more common sense than some.
I'd like to know what is it going to take for people to realize it doesn't do much good to get a good education and then not find a decent job in Louisiana. Unless we go to work for Mr. Benson.
