I agree with the legislators. Why should one company get a tax break? Just lower the cost of doing business overall, and these companies will come.
Amazon wanted a tax break and the SC House told them to pound sand. This is why the local Tea Party opposed this, because it's crony capitalism on the state level.

Why should one company get a tax break?Company? It's the SC taxpayers who would would be getting the tax break; incidentally, they still won't be paying the tax with Amazon now located out of the state.

I don't believe they did. Amazon is not based in South Carolina, and a distribution center wouldn't change that. Why does it need to collect sales tax for South Carolina? How is this not an unlawful tax on interstate commerce?

There were commercials running here against Amazon’s tax deal, accusing them of being greedy. I haven’t followed the story so I really have no opinion (for a change - LOL).
