Of course FITS likes this retarded, ass-backward viewpoint. Only it isn’t insane enough, is it, fuckwads.

The Tea Party revolution is in full swing. I’m sure their newly elected buddies in Washington will bring more of the same on the federal level.

South Carolina should immediately renounce and refuse anymore funds from the federal gov’t. Of course 45% of our state budget will disappear but we can’t very well call the poor takers and freeloaders when we take so much money from the hated federal gov’t. now can we?

Until then it is all just hypocrisy from Republican corporate loving stooges.

8. South Carolina

In recent months, South Carolina has begun booming its way out from the shadow of the Great Recession. Here’s how the Palmetto State is doing based on our metrics:

South Carolina had the largest drop in its unemployment rate among the states, going from 7.8% in June 2013 to only 5.3% in June 2014 — a drop that puts South Carolina’s rate under the national average.

Accordingly, South Carolina also had strong payroll jobs growth, adding 42,500 jobs between June 2013 and June 2014, a 2.2% increase.

South Carolina’s auto sales have also grown, with a 9.7% uptick in per-dealer sales from 2012 to 2013.

The rest of the USA should refuse to continue to make up the economic difference for your slack asses. Time and time again SC has to be dragged into the present by the rest of us. You’re like the “slow” awkward cousin Mom makes us play with just to be nice.

Haley has brought us unbridled prosperity and economic opportunity. She is hailed nationwide as a job creator, and a friend to business. We are lucky, nah I should say, honored, to have her as our governor. You go girl!!!!

She isn’t hailed as shit nationwide. Nearly all of the nation has no idea who she is, much less what’s happening in that backwards welfare state.

It is telling that this was co-published by the Cato Institute in the US.

The report hates the minimum wage, “Takings and Discriminatory Taxation”, Social Security, any sort of government aid to the poor, etc. and so forth.

Typical Libertarian econoporn.

Economic freedom in SC is as strong as ever. Each and every South Carolinian is free to be poor, unemployed, uninsured, ignorant, backward and indebted. Any other situation is just socialism.
