As an income tax practitioner for many years, having prepared returns for a number of states; I can tell you that in my experience, South Carolina has the most favorable treatment of income taxation to individuals.  This is because SC taxes less of a person's income, with higher deductions, more adjustments(subtractions), and tax credits.  The impact of these provisions is far greater than the marginal tax rates.  Lower income tax rates would favor the higher economic class; while higher fuel tax would have the greatest impact on the lower economic class, which spends a higher percent of their income on fuel (and otherwise).  Such a policy sustains the notion that Republicans (to whom I am a loyal voter) favor the wealthy over the poor and middle class.  Please reconsider this initiative.
