Seniority drives South Carolina tax dollar returns, study says
The Northeast Midwest Institute finds South Carolina ranks 17th in federal return per capita with a $4,721 tax burden and $5,180 in federal spending per person. The study credits congressional seniority for state advantages, noting Hollings and Thurmond as key figures and citing messages from Rep. Clyburn and other veterans. It also highlights a regional subsidy pattern, with the Northeast and Midwest receiving more per dollar of taxes.
