🇺🇸 The GRT Story: How South Dakota Wins

Simple. Clear. Fair.
Say goodbye to property taxes—and hello to freedom.

☕ Meet Sam — A Simple Story of Freedom

Meet Sam, a regular South Dakotan who runs a small coffee shop in Rapid City. Sam’s not a tax expert—he just wants to serve coffee and keep his home. But every year, the county took $4,500 in property taxes from his $300,000 house. It felt like a bully demanding his lunch money, leaving Sam worried he might lose his home.

Then came a better way — SEAL SD’s Core GRT Plan.

Think of South Dakota as a big picnic, Sam learned.
In the old days, everyone paid a “picnic spot fee” (property taxes) just to sit at the table — even if they barely ate.
The GRT changed that.

Now:
✅ No spot fee — Sam keeps his $4,500 every year.
✅ Businesses (the picnic bakers) chip in a small 5% slice of their pie sales (gross receipts).
✅ That slice funds $3.6 billion for roads, police, courts, and schools ($960 million for education!).

Sam’s life?
He saves $4,500, gets a $200 rebate for being a resident, and when he buys a $40 coffee machine part, he pays just $1 GRT instead of $2.60 sales tax.

The picnic is fully funded. Sam keeps brewing coffee—with more money in his pocket and no fear of losing his home.

👉 The Core GRT Plan isn’t a tax puzzle — it’s a picnic where everyone wins.
