TO EXPRESS THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S SUPPORT FOR THE HARDWORKING CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA BY OPPOSING TAX INCREASES AND WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT SPENDING.
Whereas, the economy of the United States recently has taken a significant downturn, impacting negatively on taxpayers across America; and
Whereas, the citizens of South Carolina have faithfully funded the continued expansion of state government services for many years; and
Whereas, working men and women are providing government, at all levels, with a larger share of their income than ever before; and
Whereas, our senior citizens and others on fixed incomes are finding it increasingly difficult to pay higher taxes; and
Whereas, the business interests of our State collectively face increased costs and decreasing markets. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly will explore every option to bring efficiency and cost-effectiveness to every government program and service, to prioritize necessary spending, and to eliminate all waste and unnecessary spending.
Be it further resolved that the members of the General Assembly pledge to reduce, and where possible, reverse the growth of state spending.
Be it further resolved that the members of the General Assembly pledge to oppose any effort to increase the tax burden on any segment of the taxpaying citizens of our South Carolina.
