"Our State Ain't Broke: Our System Is!" ROAR's message is spreading: But we still need YOUR voice! Politicians, the media, and South Carolinians like YOU are taking action and building momentum for the comprehensive tax reform our state so desperately needs. As you'll read below, Republican State Senator Tom Davis realizes that special interest exemptions have moved our state away from the principles of the free market. By exempting more ($2.7 billion) in sales tax than we collect ($2.5 billion), SC Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian said last week that we've made "the hole... bigger than the doughnut!" Our state CAN lower tax rates, create jobs, build a friendlier business environment, and provide core services! But until your voice joins the chorus - until the ROAR becomes deafening! - comprehensive tax reform will remain a good talking point and not a reality.  Take heart from the momentum we are building...  Then TAKE ACTION!  We Need Jobs: Our Chambers Say Tax Reform is the Answer! The SC Chamber of Commerce lists tax reform as it's #1 priority Local Chambers in Greenville, Greer, North Augusta, Pickens, and Spartanburg agree Click below to see the momentum building in just the last month! (Even more articles on our website!) House Republicans PROMISE to pass tax reform (August 22) The Island Packets challenges Gov. Haley to help the state by supporting REAL tax reform (August 23) Sen.
