According to todays PBN
Hawaii has the 6th worst economy in the Nation.
..........It blames Hawaii's low ranking in part on high taxes, minimum wages and workers' compensation costs.....
So I don't think we can lower the taxes, but I do think we can raise minimum wages and we should work to eliminate all the accidents that are causing such high Workers Compensation rates.
But dang it, why doesn't any blame lie on the fact that were in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?
How can we possibly have a good local economy when the majority of our stuff is purchased from the mainland?[?]
