🎯 Tough Talk: Accountability isn’t harsh — it’s long overdue.


🏠 Why End Property Taxes?

Protect Your Home: No family should lose their home over unpaid taxes.

Fairer System: Spread the load — businesses contribute too.

Grow South Dakota: No property tax means more homes, more businesses, more opportunity.

Save for the Future: Families, farmers, and small businesses keep more of what they earn.


💡 How the GRT (Gross Receipts Tax) Works

  • ✅ Simple 2.5% tax on sales (not profits).
  • 🚜 Farmers: Lower 1.5% rate, only on what you sell.
  • 🏪 Small businesses under $100,000? Pay zero GRT.
  • 💸 Extra money collected? Goes back to you!

💡 Accountability isn’t harsh — it’s long overdue.
