Both houses of the North Carolina legislature are currently considering competing bills that lower taxes by $1 billion or more over the next five years, move the state to a pro-growth flat rate income tax system, and slash tax rates on businesses and North Carolina families. Both proposals have incredible potential to supercharge economic growth in North Carolina, leading to higher job creation and higher income growth across the income spectrum. ALECs Rich States, Poor States Economic Outlook Index measures a states future growth prospects given the states current public policy environment. The 6th Edition of Rich States, Poor States ranked North Carolina as 22nd overall.

Yeah!
