HERE'S THE MIDDLE C0UHTRY1
SUCE OF $1,500,000 ,
The taxes on legal bear and ale
brought in $1,500,000 to South
Carolina in 1941.
These taxes are used to support
the School Aid Fund, and to help
pay the costs of government in
cities and towns in 46 South
Carolina counties.
The State returned to the Middle
Country Section in 19-11 a total
of $87,912 in beer taxes, to be
used for government costs in
thirteen counties.
That was the Middle Country's
share ... the Piedmont and others
benefited in proportion. That's
one way that legal beer and ale
helped South Carolina in 1941.
Since beer has been legal, it has
meant more than $15,000,000 in
tax revenue to the State; more
than 3,500 honest jobs with an
annual payroll of $3,500,000 . . .
spent with South Carolina merchants
for food and clothing and
homes.
Who'd provide these jobs if J?eer
were not legal? Who'd pay the
taxes? Where would the Middle
Country get this extra government
income?
YOU'D have to dig down deeper
... if it were not for legal beer!
