It was a SLAP in the Small Business Owners Face! We have NEVER Been Given Tax Dollars (free) To help Start or Maintain our Businesses! We are the Backbone of the Economics of South Carolina!! The Giving of 1.3 Billion to SCOUT is CRIMINAL!!!

LOL the majority of SC will vote for ANYTHING with an R next to it on election day and then is surprised when those legislators ignore them or what is best for the population. They can do that because you will vote for them no matter what you dullards!
