No New Sales Tax

Why would the citizens of  Dorchester Co. want to raise the sales tax in order to lower the property taxes. This will be a net loss for individuals. Part of the sales tax collected will go to the state to be distributed to other counties or to be used as administrative fees by the SCDOR (South Carolina Department of Revenue).  Sure this will help large property owners, but it won't help most of the consumers in Dorchester Co. Reverse Robin Hood. Rob the poor to pay the rich. It sound like we are building a bureaucracy with the Sheriff of Nottingham in charge. Vote No on the November 5th referendum.
