Campaign for a Moral Budget
South Carolina’s political leaders have insisted there is no alternative to deep cuts in core services, including to education and medical care. We believe there is an immediate and fair budget alternative through reforms that cut special-interest tax breaks. The money is there; the political will is not. Consider:
- Sales and service tax exemptions left nearly $4 billion out of the state budget last year.
- 40% of South Carolinians paid no state income tax last year.
- Facing an $800 million shortfall to maintain bare-bones state services, increasing tax revenue is a moral imperative.
We rallied at the SC State House
We mobbed the lobby.
