Kalakoa, Your forgetting that the small business owner/operator didn't build that. They didn't risk their capital (savings), design the product/service, sacrifice time away from family and friends to get their ideas off the ground. It's the committees and politicians (you know the ones that have VAST experience as owner/operators building something from scratch) are the ones that build these businesses that create local jobs and local incomes and independence. As you can tell by the economic boom times that we live in and the vibrant and exciting local economy (the connected and large corporations that can purchase the connected).
LOL, Hawaii can't even make grass skirts and coconut shell bras to sell to tourists, we get those from Bali. What a sham (unfortunately all of America is that way, you just see/feel it more here because the local economy survives on pension funders and .gov hand outs).
