What are your sources for this? I see that the sales tax is pretty high (mostly because of hefty local taxes, not state), but various sources have Louisiana listed around 10th lowest for income taxes for median wage earners.
Regardless, the real issues with respect to Jindal and what has happened there seem to be with corporate taxes - especially tax breaks and various credit schemes.
So are you actually arguing that Louisiana should be lowering taxes?
