Cui bono?

In a most striking comment, a South Carolina consultant/blogger says the lesson of the failed Amazon.com sales tax legislation is that Democrats are job killers.

Which begs the question, why?

Who wakes up in the morning saying, "I want to go to work today and see how many jobs I can kill?"

Where's the political gain for a party to go home at election time and tell voters, "I worked to kill your jobs"?

What makes economic development and job creation a partisan issue?

Don't we all want all South Carolinians to have a place in an expanding economy?

If not, why not? And if the classic model of economic development in the southeast has been rejected, what will take its place?
