You and him make a great American couple. Thank you for your Christian American stances on many critical issues. Our founders would be proud of you for not kowtowing to the media and elites in academia as well as D.C. In this vein, I offer that the great state of SC with all of its illustrious military heritage, tradition and active duty, Guard/Reserve military mbrs serving is losing a huge/massive number of retired military members to other states (i.e., FL) because SC continues to tax military retirement pay, Traditional IRA distributions and Thrift Savings account distributions. With the vast number of military installations SC still has, it's a crying shame that we are losing the overwhelming majority of military mbrs when they retire. I submit retired military make some of the best citizens in the world. Let's keep them in SC. With your help and God's grace we can. Blessings to you and yours from a Vet for Jesus. David G. Ellison, IV (born and raised in Cola...now living in Georgetown after ~27 combined yrs in SC Army Guard, ROTC and USAF)
