    Who Benefits Most From South Carolina's Tax Plan?

    South Carolina lawmakers are moving toward eliminating the state income tax, but the shift raises serious questions about who really benefits and who pays more. We examine how replacing income tax revenue with higher sales taxes, property taxes, and fees could affect working families across the Palmetto State. Policy analyst Paige Knight explains what House bill H4216 could change and how tax structure decisions shape public services like schools and infrastructure. If South Carolina’s tax plan moves forward, the impact on taxpayers may be very different depending on where you sit in the income ladder. 00:00 Why Tax Policy Matters for Families 04:54 South Carolina H4216 Explained 07:42 Do Income Tax Cuts Boost Growth? 09:32 Revenue Triggers and Budget Risks 13:41 Kansas Tax Cut Lessons 17:39 Better Tax Relief Options 22:41 The National Push to Cut Income Taxes Paige Knight Policy Advisor https://www.linkedin.com/in/paige-knight-8a15003a Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.

    Rural Voters Are Not Who Campaigns Think They Are w/ Frank Spring

    Campaigns often talk about rural voters, but they rarely understand how rural identity shapes political trust and participation. Culture, belonging, religion, work, and community expectations all influence how rural communities respond to candidates and national messaging. When campaigns rely on stereotypes instead of lived experience, the result is a growing gap between strategy and representation. Understanding that gap helps explain why rural voters often feel overlooked in American politics and across the modern South. 00:00 Frank Spring and Identity 02:31 Narrative Truth and Storytelling 14:00 Rural Voters and Messaging 25:25 Rural Voters’ AI Concerns 33:58 How Does Trump Fit into Rural Values?

    Dear Senator Cash

    South Carolina lawmakers can revisit major issues year after year, but many voters still struggle to have their voices heard in the decisions that shape state policy. Gerrymandered districts and low primary turnout shape who holds power and whose voices carry the most weight in the Statehouse. Recent action at the Statehouse shows how district maps and ballot access rules can limit how much influence voters really have in South Carolina. At the center is a simple question for Senator Richard Cash and the legislature: what does democracy look like when voters cannot decide the issues that affect them most?

    The Burden of Proof w/ Governor Jim Hodges

    Why do Democratic candidates in South Carolina have to work harder to win trust from voters? Former Governor Jim Hodges joins Frogmore Stew to explain why Democratic candidates in Republican leaning states carry the burden of proof and how campaigns succeed by focusing on education, health care, and affordability instead of national talking points. Drawing on his upset win in 1998 and his record in office, Hodges shares lessons about message discipline, bipartisan governing, and earning credibility across party lines. This conversation looks at what it takes to persuade voters and compete statewide in modern South Carolina politics. 00:00:00 Jim Hodges' Road to Governor 00:04:33 South Carolina Education Lottery 00:07:16 Campaign Messaging That Wins 00:14:03 Rising Health Care Cost in South Carolina 00:19:14 Democrats Winning in South Carolina 00:26:28 Honest Campaign Voter Outreach 00:30:42 South Carolina Election Outlook Jim Hodges Former Governor of South Carolina Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.

    Your Vote Should Be the Opening Act, Not the Finale

    Casting a ballot should be the start of your voice in government, not the end of it. Ramon Perez of the Digital Democracy Project explains how verified voters can weigh in on real state and federal legislation between elections using secure mobile tools that connect citizens directly to lawmakers. The conversation explores gerrymandering, safe districts, and why many people feel their vote stops mattering after Election Day. It also shows how technology can help voters follow policy decisions and hold elected officials accountable year round. 00:00:00 Digital Democracy Project Vision 00:07:01 Mobile Voting Security 00:14:20 One-Party States and Safe Seats 00:19:10 Legislator Accountability Tools 00:26:53 Mobile Voting Identity Checks 00:38:17 National ID and Voting Access 00:43:17 Expanding Digital Democracy Nationwide Ramon Perez Executive Director, Digital Democracy Project https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramon-perez-97a87a41/ Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.

    Washington Treats Failure Like a Plan

    What happens when Washington stops solving problems and starts accepting failure as normal? Rahm Emanuel joins Frogmore Stew to explain why thousands of high paying jobs in America are still going unfilled and how community colleges and technical training can help rebuild the middle class. Drawing on his time as Chicago mayor, White House chief of staff, and U.S. ambassador to Japan, Emanuel says South Carolina is already showing what national leaders are missing. He argues that if Democrats want to compete in states like South Carolina, they need to focus on how people get trained, get hired, and move back into the middle class. 00:00 America's Skills Gap and American Dream 04:46 South Carolina's Community Education Blueprint 11:19 Washington Failure and Workforce Gaps 15:58 Innovation, China, and Global Competition 20:42 Democrats Competing in the South 25:20 Reinventing High School for Real Jobs 27:59 Why Emanuel Is Visiting South Carolina Rahm Emanuel https://x.com/RahmEmanuel Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.

    How Influencers Bring South Carolina Politics to Voters

    What happens when everyday creators become the bridge between the Statehouse and the public? In this conversation with South Carolina political influencers Laurie, Carrie, and Jessica, we explore how social media is changing political messaging, helping voters understand what lawmakers are doing, and connecting people across the state who thought they were alone in their views. From reproductive rights updates to library fights and legislative debates, these creators are building a direct-to-voter pipeline for real-time civic awareness. We discuss how grassroots political influencers, local statehouse updates, and South Carolina political organizing are reshaping how voters engage with state politics. 00:00 Introduction 04:03 Why They Started Political Content 07:10 Identity, Faith, and Politics in South Carolina 14:54 Does Advocacy Content Drive Change? 17:15 TikTok and the Political Influencer Economy 27:31 Mobilizing vs Organizing for Real Change 34:09 Digital Strategy and Women Driving Change 39:40 Messaging Strategy and Reaching New Voters 45:41 Independence and Respect Across Parties 50:37 Inclusion, Belonging, and Fixing Politics Lori Douglas https://tiktok.com/@calltoactsouthernstyle Carey Shofner https://tiktok.com/@messyasamother Jessicka Spearman Childs https://tiktok.com/@scjesckachilds Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.
