Sapelo Island, Ga is home to one the last historic Geechee/Gullah communities in the entire United States. McIntosh County sent out notices in which they raised property tax rates upwards 500%-1,000% on Island residents; most of whom are older/retired & live on fixed incomes. We should all be concerned because this shouldn't happen in America. Sapelo Island's culture is truly the last of a very important part of not only African-American history; but also American history. The Sapelo community of Hog Hammock is currently on the federal National Registry of Historic Places through the US Dept of Interior, but this hasn't stopped the county government of McIntosh from raising taxes at a rate they know Sapelo's residents & descendants alike aren't able to pay.

An over-haul of the state tax system is imperative due to unemployment and those who avoid paying Income Tax. Individuals paid by check or in cash for services, tree removal, house painting or lawn maintenance to include small home repairs do NOT report such income; thus, no income tax paid. Replacing the 'Income Tax' with an adjusted 'Sales Tax' would make everyone subject to paying "their fair share" to support the budget. This system would make allowances for those above the $200,000 bracket, who would still be subject to an adjusted income tax.

Cuts in public service salaries will impact on consumer sales, impact on businesses. and lead to further corporate downsizing and unemployment

The Minimum Wage in America is currently $7.25 an hour. If the minimum wage had just stayed even with inflation since 1968 it would now be $10.56 an hour. Raising it to $9 is only fair. That’s $18,720 a year for someone working a 40-hour workweek, just above the poverty line for a family of three.
