🚀 Teaser: The Next Chapter of Tax Freedom

🏛️ SEAL SD Looks Ahead to a Bolder Future

At SealSD.com, we’re just getting started on our mission to secure tax freedom for South Dakotans. The Core GRT Plan, part of the Maximum Liberty Plan (Plan 2), replaces all state taxes with a single 5% Gross Receipts Tax (GRT), generating $3.6 billion and saving you $3,000–$5,000 annually by eliminating property taxes. This plan, set to be voted on in November 2026, is a monumental step toward liberty—but it’s only the beginning. This page offers a teaser of the next chapter of tax freedom, hinting at future reforms that will further reduce government overreach, empower citizens, and enhance South Dakota’s prosperity, while encouraging you to stay engaged in this transformative journey.

🗽 Beyond Property Taxes: A Vision for Total Tax Freedom

The Core GRT Plan eliminates property taxes, saving South Dakotans $1.6 billion annually, but the next chapter of tax freedom aims to go further by addressing remaining layers of taxation and overreach:

  • Eliminating Federal Tax Burdens: While the Core GRT Plan focuses on state taxes, future initiatives could explore ways to advocate for federal tax relief, such as supporting proposals like the FairTax (Page 21: FairTax vs. Core GRT Plan) or pushing for federal deductions tied to state tax reforms, reducing your overall tax burden.
  • Reducing Fees and Regulations: Beyond taxes, South Dakota imposes fees like car tags and fishing licenses ($628.2 million currently). The next chapter could streamline these fees, cutting unnecessary regulations to further ease financial pressures on residents and businesses.
  • Enhancing Tax Freedom for All: Future reforms might expand exemptions under the GRT, such as increasing the small business exemption threshold from $100,000 to $150,000, or offering targeted relief for new industries like renewable energy, fostering innovation while maintaining fairness.

Analogy for Clarity: The Core GRT Plan cleared the picnic spot fees, but the next picnic chapter will tackle the big picnic boss’s fees, trim extra picnic charges, and give more picnic friends a free picnic pass—making the picnic even freer for everyone!

💪 Empowering Citizens: The Future of Accountability

The Core GRT Plan empowers South Dakotans through the ballot initiative process (Page 14: Constitutional Amendment), but the next chapter will take citizen empowerment to new heights by strengthening accountability mechanisms:

  • Expanding SD-DOGE Oversight: Building on the South Dakota Department of Government Efficiency (SD-DOGE), future reforms could enhance citizen oversight committees, giving you more direct control over government spending and policy (Page 15: What Happens When Representatives Fail to Honor Their Duty). Imagine monthly transparency reports accessible to all South Dakotans, ensuring every dollar serves your interests.
  • Citizen-Led Policy Initiatives: We could advocate for new mechanisms to propose and vote on state policies beyond tax reform, such as education or healthcare initiatives, ensuring your voice shapes South Dakota’s future on all fronts.
  • Protecting Against Overreach: Future efforts might focus on constitutional amendments to further limit government power, such as caps on state spending or stricter lobbying regulations, preserving the principles of a constitutional republic (Page 23: Understanding Our Constitutional Republic).

Analogy for Clarity: The picnic watchdog (SD-DOGE) already checks the picnic budget, but soon, picnic friends could have a louder picnic voice—checking picnic reports every month, suggesting new picnic games, and making sure picnic planners don’t add sneaky picnic rules, keeping the picnic free and fair!

📈 A Prosperous Future: Building on Economic Gains

The Core GRT Plan boosts South Dakota’s economy by freeing up $1.6 billion in disposable income (Page 19: SB 216 vs. Core GRT Plan), but the next chapter will amplify this prosperity by fostering innovation and growth:

  • Attracting Global Investment: With no property taxes and a simple GRT, South Dakota is already a haven for investment (Page 25: Why Invest in South Dakota). Future reforms could offer incentives for tech startups or green energy projects, positioning South Dakota as a leader in emerging industries.
  • Expanding Economic Opportunities: We might explore partnerships with local businesses to create job training programs, funded by the $95.8 million GRT surplus, helping South Dakotans gain skills for high-demand fields like renewable energy or advanced manufacturing.
  • Sustainable Growth: Future initiatives could focus on long-term economic stability, such as investing in infrastructure like rural broadband, ensuring all South Dakotans benefit from growth while maintaining our state’s unique quality of life.

Analogy for Clarity: Our picnic is already growing with $1.6 billion more in picnic wallets, but the next picnic chapter will bring new picnic games—like tech and green picnic ideas—train picnic friends for big picnic jobs, and build picnic paths for everyone, making our picnic the best picnic around!

💡 Why It Matters: Your Continued Engagement

The Core GRT Plan is a foundation, but the next chapter of tax freedom depends on your continued engagement. By securing 35,017 signatures by May 5, 2026, and voting “Yes” in November 2026, you’re paving the way for even bolder reforms that will further reduce government overreach, empower citizens, and drive prosperity. Your free will and vigilance are the keys to this future (Page 18: The Power of the People’s Free Will). Stay tuned as we build on this momentum, forging a South Dakota where liberty and opportunity thrive for generations to come.
