“I believe that big business and big government are the two greatest threats facing our generation. Both have their interests being served by those in either party. The only way to break thru the gridlock to get things done is a strong and independent third party that is based wholly on strong fiscal conservatism and socially progressivism.”
-Steve French
Steve’s Top Priorities
Smaller Government
Get Government off our backs. We need a small number of rules and for the Government to get out of the way. This will help lower taxes and create an environment for small businesses to grow and thrive.
Lower Taxes
End the corporate and personal income tax in S.C. . A tax on ones income is a tax on ones time, and a tax on one’s time is a tax on ones livelihood.
More Freedom
More freedom starts with one simple word, Choice. I am the only candidate that is Pro Choice, Pro-Marijuana, Pro-environment, and Pro-gambling.
