Mullins McLeod on Tax Reform

 

 


Reduce state income tax by reducing development deals

[On Eliminating the state Income tax]: McLeod said the tax burden could be reduced if lawmakers didn't give incentives as part of economic development deals. "If you look at how much the people pay into the system, for every dollar we, the people, pay in these large for-profits, like Volvo, pay a dime. If the people of South Carolina do not get what they bought and paid for, yet these for-profits get everything for free," McLeod said. "I am for reducing the tax burden on the people and enforcing the laws on the books against these large for-profits, instead of giving them a free ride."

Johnson said it may be impossible to eliminate the state income tax because it represents more than 40% of the state's budget. He also lamented how the recent tax cut benefits wealthy people in the state. Johnson said. "My plan calls for expanding South Carolinians not paying income tax, and I know exactly how to get there."
