Picture
Government didn't just happen, and our government was not imposed on us, and it has been working for us for quite some time.  But there are many of us today who believe government should just get out of the way.
     If we look at the poor employment figures for South Carolina, we can see firsthand the results of cutting back government.  We have lost jobs in education and in public health and safety.  We have inadequate government funding to build and upgrade roads and schools.  Our electrical grid is fragile.  We have lost opportunities in developing clean energy and moving ahead with fast and efficient public transportation.
     When we lose government jobs, when funding is cut for important government projects and even more jobs are lost, the effect ripples throughout our communities.  Those lost jobs are individuals who have to struggle to pay for the roof over their heads, and are no longer able to spend money in the community.  When that happens to the extent that we have seen over the past years, businesses are forced to cut back, and more jobs are lost.
     South Carolina House Representative for District 115 Peter McCoy has fought over the past two years to chop and slash government spending, so that big tax savings can go to big business.  He does not recognize the damage that those tax cuts do in terms of loss of government jobs and services, and contracts to small businesses to improve our communities.  In fact, those tax cuts he brags about actually cost us more in lost services.
     When will private sector jobs come back?  Those jobs will come back when people in the community have the financial security that will allow them to spend and grow their neighbors' small businesses.  When those small businesses grow, they hire.
     Carol Tempel understands the way government jobs fuel our communities, and our businesses.  This is why she will fight for smart taxation and spending, so that Charleston and South Carolina can begin to grow again.
