where does hawaii rank when it comes to entitlement... maybe that is why everything is taxed .
If by entitlement you mean government workers, Hawaii is #5. But don't let that fool you:
#1 is Washington D.C
#3 is Virginia
#4 is Maryland
Both Virginia and Maryland have a large number of government workers from Washington D.C. living in their states as they both border the capitol. If you don't count the area around the capitol, then Alaska is #1 and Hawaii is #2 for highest number of government workers. That's where our tax money goes.
In the state of Hawaii government workers are 24% of the workforce. In East Hawaii, government workers are 72% of the total.
