Why A Sales Tax?
TAXES ARE UNPOPULAR; NEW TAXES :
ARE MORE SO
BUT
The Schools in S. C. Face a Critical Situation
and
The Classroom Teachers Advocate THE SALES TAX
BECAUSE . . .
1. It will produce the needed revenue.
2. It gives those who poy no property tax a
chance to help in this problem that con
cerns EVERYBODY.
3. Those who buy most pay most.
4. It has made it possible for states that have
adopted it to forge ahead educationally.
SHALL WE FACE THE PROBLEM AND SOLVE IT?
