Like the rest of us, I have seen many articles discussing the need for various transportation projects, the jobs and economic development that might ensue, the return on investment for our country and the absolute calamity that will befall us if T-SPLOST does not pass. What I have not seen discussed is the basic tax structure as proposed. With even a rudimentary knowledge of economics, we understand that if we want more of something we should subsidize it (make it easier to get) and if we want less of it we should tax it (make it harder to get.) A merchant who wants to sell more goods will discount the sales price (subsidy) and his goods sell faster.
