From: "Robert Comer" 

South Carolina is one of the higher taxed states and the economy isn't the
best. Greenville, near Charlotte, Mount Pleasant, and to a lesser degree
Anderson aren't bad economy wise.

Wyoming's **cold** and *windy*, so I wouldn't recommend it at all. Taxes
are pretty favorable though!
