Apparently this point was missed on a lot of people. This point is so important, it shall be repeated over and over again until people listen and understand what is going on. Kevin "I'm A Howard Rich Clone" Bryant is IGNORING the DIRE IMPLICATIONS of a "Taxpayer's Empowerment Amendment" which is simply a fancier, window-dressed name for "TABOR" or "Taxpayer Bill of Rights."
Sounds great on the surface right? You, the electorate, directly decide what/how things are funded by taxes.
Let's see what happens when TABOR (which is identical to the Taxpayer's Empowerment Amendment, if you are keeping score at home) is implemented. Let's look to Colorado which implemented this EXACT POLICY that Kevin "I'm A Howard Rich Clone" Bryant is proposing for South Carolina:

In fact, at the CBPP link above, if you look to the upper right hand corner, you can click on a movie presentation about what happened in Colorado when this proposal, the proposal that Kevin "I'm a Howard Rich Clone" is proposing for South Carolina, is put into action.

John Adams was right:
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
