And if you are honest 40% is actually a very surprising figure given public perceptions of Welfare and SNAP...particularly on the right.
Not at all. The perception is reality.
When you factor in incarceration, 40% of blacks receive government assistance related to food compared to 12% for whites(and this includes hispanics who identify as whites).

Factor in incarceration? 
Posted on 4/25/17 at 10:56 pm to Tigerdev
It's 33% without. Still pathetic.
Happy?
I think it's relevant to consider incarceration because a shite ton of those folks would be on social programs and they are being fed by your tax dollars in prison. The large black prison population makes the numbers look better.

So those in jail are not being subsidised?

There is a significant portion of the white population in Louisiana that still revels in Huey Long's anti wealth/education sentiment and will vote for big gov pols like JBE without a second's hesitation.

There are no utopias. Either you have a small state government and larger local governments, or a large state government and powerless local governments.
NH is a state with very little central control at the state level (hence why they only meet every other year and have no income or sales tax).
Most of the "government" functions in NH are performed at the local level.
Again... our total combined state and local tax rates, for all types of combined taxes and fees, is the 5th lowest in the country.
Our problem is not that we pay too much tax. Our problem is that what we do pay is pissed away.

You obviously did not pay attention to your links Judg7123.
The state and local tax burden in New Hampshire per capita is $70. In Louisiana it is $592. A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
The percentages you refer too include their 5% income tax on dividends and interest. They have no income tax on regular income.

Don't act like that isn't the case.

You too are simply looking at the rates the Tax Foundation ranks on. If you read their methodology you will understand that does not necessarily correlate with the actual taxes collected per person.
As I have already posted that the combined local/state per capita tax collection in New Hampshire is only $70 compared to $592 in Louisiana.
There is absolutely no question we have elected to do things with government that New Hampshire does not do and it costs us in a HUGE way.
There is nothing further from the truth than your applied assumption that government is relatively the same size per capita in every state and only the level of government that funds and administration differs.

that is a very good example of the attitude of New Hampshire vs the attitude of Louisiana state government.

Isn't it interesting that people like Ken Burns film in New Hampshire while forgoing bribes in other states?

What others have to say about New Hampshire
“I thought that by becoming a documentary filmmaker I had suddenly just taken some vow of anonymity and poverty and had to go to some place where I thought I could live inexpensively. Guess what - you can do it inexpensively here in New Hampshire. But the real secret was because – I’m happy to say neither the poverty or the anonymity occurred – it also happens to be the best possible environment, and so I see it as the greatest single professional decision I've made.”
- Ken Burns, director, Baseball, Jazz, The War
"There are a lot of states that try to lure you with promises of tax incentives and the like, but the reality is that being film-friendly is about much more than that-and New Hampshire really defines film-friendly. Everyone here has been so incredibly helpful and welcoming, I don't know why we ever shoot anywhere besides New Hampshire."
- Michael Roiff, producer, In Your Eyes
“New Hampshire offers permit-free location possibilities running the gamut from sea to mountains, wilderness to urban, historic to contemporary, as well as no sales tax, a large experienced crew base, exceptional filmmaker networking, a state film office that partners with you for real and a quality of life that is second to none.”
- Buzz McLaughlin, executive producer, The Sensation of Sight
"Filming in New Hampshire is convenient, creatively inspiring for the crew and actors, cheap, and fun. New Hampshire offers abundant enthusiasm and cooperation from town governments, police departments, chambers of commerce, and townspeople, including a very enthusiastic state film commission with people on call 24 hours a day. I look forward to shooting up there again."

Me thinks the issue is a bit more complicated than demographics.
Methinks you give substance to the notion that DIM/LIBs are pretty unacquainted with either logic or mathematics.

You're a smart guy but you clearly are getting your facts wrong here
$70 per capita taxes, that would mean their entire local and state spending is $70 million instead of the 12.5 billion it actually is
Is true that New Hampshire's state taxes at $1700 per capita are the lowest in the country, but their local taxes are among the highest, with property taxes on a median home about 400% higher than here
Tax foundations statistics are accurate they place all tax collections over all gross state income, nothing to do with the rate of their interest and dividend tax it has everything to do with what is the total tax collected and what is the entire possible tax base
And according to that statistic our taxes are lower

Not complaining about no income and sales tax but paying my property taxes and tax on investment income isn't exactly fun...there's a mess of fees, too, depending...

It is simply the number in your link.
How much of their state budget is federal pass through?

Why is it so hard for you to admit you didn't know all the facts? Judg showed them to you. You would think it would make you happy. Instead you post about business environment? All you want to do is whine about Louisiana.
