South Carolina has a Republican supermajority and a Republican governor. So why hasn’t spending gone down? Why are taxes still high? Because the majority of politicians—even “conservatives”—don’t want to shrink government. They just want to control it. The real question isn’t

We have a Republican supermajority in South Carolina. We have the numbers. We have the mandate. And yet—we still don’t have real tax cuts. Why? Because cutting taxes without cutting spending is a lie. Here’s the truth no politician wants to say out loud: every dollar the

Looks like the University of South Carolina grabbed $9.2M from the feds—not for better education, but to play diversity bingo. Forget hiring the best people, they’re collecting labels like Pokémon. Our universities should be places of learning, not political correctness. Time to

Cutting taxes is not hard math. It’s simple: Cut Expenses. South Carolina’s government is spending more than ever—with “conservatives” in control. This isn’t about numbers. It’s about courage. And it’s time to call out the cowardice.

Today, we passed the Healthy Schools Act out of committee. This bill bans ultraprocessed junk full of dyes & additives from school meals — the same chemicals already banned in Europe. Thanks to @ShannonErickson and @JackieforSC for introducing this legislation! It’s time SC put

🚨 LAUNCH ALERT 🚨 South Carolina taxpayers deserve to know where their hard-earned money is going. Inspired by Senator Rand Paul's Festivus report, I'm launching scporkproject.com—a deep dive into the wasteful government spending fueling out-of-control budgets. 🌟

Just so everyone understands: the government has no money of its own. It only has: •Your money (via taxes), •Your kid’s money (via debt), or •Your purchasing power (via inflation from money printing). Every government program is funded by force—taken from your paycheck or

As we are having a spending and tax crisis in South Carolina, Rep @westonnewton120 has a bill coming to the floor today to expand Hollywood tax credits. This will cost SC taxpayers tens of millions of dollars annually. The SC House voted to pass the largest budget in state

South Carolina Establishment Republicans can’t raise tax rates—so they grow the tax base. That’s how we got corporate welfare, overdevelopment, and now #H4216. It hikes taxes on the middle class, cuts them for the rich, and grows gov’t with no spending cuts. I’m a NO. #SCpol

Currently in the South Carolina House, the leadership is trying to ram through a rules package that does away with two long-standing rules. The motion period and the committee of the whole are important legislative procedures to safeguard the rights of citizens in our state. They

Seriously!?! Y’all, this is not serious not serious conservatism. Last week, the Speaker of the house bragged about giving $9.2 Billion in incentives to create 14,000 jobs. THAT’S $650,000 PER JOB! We need separation of market and state!

In his State of the State address last week, His Excellency the Governor requested over $500,000,000 in appropriations. Imagine how much he would ask for if we let him talk all day?! There truly is no problem of the citizens’ he can’t solve if only we give him enough money to do

You can’t say you believe in limited government while voting for massive budgets. You can’t grow government and shrink taxes at the same time. You must choose. You’re either for liberty or for Leviathan. There is no middle path.
