Why South Carolina’s System Still Isn’t Working and How the Next Generation Might Finally Change It
By: Investigative Correspondent
For decades, South Carolina has promised reform, yet measurable progress remains elusive. Despite political turnover, tax incentives for corporations, and endless speeches about economic development, the Palmetto State still ranks near the bottom nationwide in categories like median income, infrastructure quality, and educational outcomes.
We’ve been doing the same thing for 30 years and expecting a different result. At some point, you have to admit the system itself not just the leadership is broken.
That sentiment is spreading. A growing number of residents, especially young entrepreneurs and reform minded professionals, are calling for fundamental structural change not incremental tweaks. They’re pointing to what they call a plantation economy 2.0, where political favoritism and inherited privilege trump innovation and merit.
