Don't know what free stuff you are talking about unless you are in the military but tell me how are republicans going to solve high taxes?  First of all our taxes are not that high when compared to the rest of the world and without high taxes, how are we going to pay for the world's largest military and prison industrial complexes.  Who needs education when we have the military and prisons?

The worst thing that has been done to Hawaii's taxpayers is to make the state so dependent upon the military.  This is as bad as  being addicted to heroin.  Sadly both parties share responsibility for this. Rail, while badly managed is hardly the worst thing that  has been done.  Not listening to Fasi, and building the rust bucket were worse decisions.
