Local Government Spending: South Carolina’s Impending Fiscal Crisis
It’s the way of all levels of American governmnet: lie. By deceiving the people into accepting property tax relief (which is in reality an increase), local governements are now emboldened to raise local taxes because of all the “extra money” people supposedly will have from property tax relief.
Remember the days before the lottery? Remember how low college tuition was in this state? With the advent of the “education” lottery, tuition costs have skyrocketed exponentially above the assistance lottery funds contribute to education! That’s right - just as the education lottery accomplishes the opposite of its popularized effect, tax relief in South Carolina (even if it were genuine) propels an exponential overal net increase in taxes!
