Freedom Wins: Minimizing Licenses

     Louisiana, where you think of the people and the cops being carefree, though in different ways, ranks as the sixth worst state for convoluted licensing procedures with which it tortures people wanting to have businesses or be considered professionals.

It used to be that you needed 750 hours of beauty school courses and three exams priced from $6,000 to $13,000 to become a legal eyebrow threader. Now, thanks to the pro-business attitude in hot and humid Louisiana, now all you need is to pass a test and pay $50 for the permit. Now you're making good gumbo, coon-asses! Nick
