People in Hawaii want to keep paying more and more taxes.  Hawaii residents love to pay taxes.  Just look at who you keep electing and the massive finacial mess that we are in.  Every (D) state is in massive fiscal distress because of the democrats and their thinking, if you can call it that.  Just wait until the $25Billion+ cement train is finally done and is up and rolling down those rusty tracks that they laid just last year.  You will be waiting in the lines of liles long traffic jams, inching along at 1mph, and you will look up and watch the train go by at 15 mph.  It is right then that you will really be outraged at the hook that is still in your cheek with the bill attached for the next 50 years, that you will be paying for for generations.  No traffic jams will be lessened, and your taxes will skyrocket.  
Good luck democrats.  You did this to yourselves.
