1990 to 1999 the tax ratio percentage estimated 18%. today it is estimated 22.3% in S.C. the cost of living has estimated DOUBLED, now I have to have Health care/dental insurance, Our bring home pay keeps us in a struggle from paycheck to paycheck, $10.50 hourly is not what it use to be, in my point of view the value of a dollar has dropped while the interest rates, rules- The "Process of buying" car's, houses and or property is at a all time high. everyone can not become a Dr. a Dentist, Nor a Firefighter, for the majority in S.C. may agree that we the people, are over worked and under paid. even so if, minimum wage should be higher, a whopper combo used to be $3 and some change, now it estimates $7. it is the same food? how can you survive at $10.50 hour? I suggest lower taxes least 3%.
