[HI Cobra]

Hawaii doesn't have much of a problem with illegal aliens (too far to swim)
but the government employs close to 10% of the work force and doesn't want
to cut back like private businesses have been forced to do. Their solution?
Let's raise taxes again. We are already the highest tax state going and need
to raise the bar for others. Forget trying to reduce spending or down sizing
by attrition as a minimum, too many cronies for that option. Tourism is way
down - let's raise the tourist taxes, as in hotels, car rentals, you name it.
These buggahs stay so smart, you know!
