The state of Hawaii is a misnomer.
It should be the state of Oahu Democrats.
There is no Aloha here,
just Democrats hate of freedom.
My wife lives and has a home in Hawaii
and I very frequently visit.
For tax reasons I’m a resident of WA state.
Hawaii taxes you to DEATH!
Retirees like me can’t afford the loss of
personal freedoms and money the government
of Oahu takes from us.
How do you think a retiree can have two
homes? That is due to me taking care of me
and not giving all my money to Oahu Democrats!
Good for you keeping as much of the fruits of your labor as you can. I wondered if Hawaii doesn’t want to follow the US constitution, then they should go independent - get rid of federal representation and forgo all the welfare money and other sums that the mainland taxpayers pour into their islands. Or maybe become part of Japan. The Japanese wanted them 85 years ago I wonder if the could be tricked into taking them now (except for the military bases).
I looked up the federal money spent in Hawaii ($18,281,000,000 in 2024) and the federal income tax collected from Hawaii in 2024 ($11,402,000,000) and noticed that Hawaii got a little less than $7 billion for being a state, but they don’t want to fulfill their obligations to uphold the US constitution. I suggest that federal funds be withheld utile that recognize that they are either part of the USA and follow US constitution or are not, in which case they don’t have to follow the constitution, but don’t get any money from the rest of us either.
