Every April, the government reminds you exactly who owns your labor. How many hours did you work this year just to hand it over to the state? Income tax. Property tax. Sales tax. Taxes on your taxes. Even tariffs—just taxes in disguise. This isn’t a free society. It’s soft

$141,127. That's what it costs to live in Hawaii per year — the highest in the country. Meanwhile, the legislature is raising conveyance taxes and debating whether to let you keep your scheduled tax cuts. The math ain't mathing. #Hawaii #CostOfLiving #HawaiiEconomy

Hawaii's legislature is debating whether to give residents their already-scheduled income tax cuts. Your tax break — already written into law — is "hanging in the balance" because lawmakers can't decide if they can afford to let you keep your own money. #Hawaii #HawaiiPolitics

HART couldn't negotiate fair deals with property owners, so now they're filing condemnation suits to take the land. Rail: years behind schedule, billions over budget, and now seizing private property. Classic government infrastructure project. #Hawaii #HART #Honolulu

There is one thing every modern president has in common: They all spent more than the last guy. reason.com/2026/04/19/one…

Makes so much sense…

Hawaii legislators introduced a rent stabilization bill. Every city that's tried rent control ended up with less supply and higher prices. But sure, let's run the experiment again. #Hawaii #RentControl #HousingCrisis #HawaiiLegislature

Hawaii's legislature is pushing a bill to restrict political donations under the guise of "fighting Citizens United." Translation: government limiting free speech for donors it doesn't like. If you don't trust big money in politics, maybe don't build a government worth buying.

The Jones Act has bled Hawaii dry for 100+ years — a federally protected monopoly that inflates the price of everything we buy. It took a war in Iran + Trump tariffs to get a temporary 60-day waiver. Reform shouldn't require a crisis. Repeal it already. #JonesAct #Hawaii

Hawaii's Legislature wants to raise $167M/year in new conveyance taxes on home sales to fund government housing programs. That's their plan to fix the housing crisis. Not cutting zoning red tape. Not streamlining permits. Just... more taxes. #Hawaii #Housing #HawaiiLeg #Taxes

Honolulu's proposed budget: $3.809 billion. For one city. On an island of ~1 million people. That's ~$3,800 per resident — and it goes up every year. Government never shrinks. Not once. Not ever. #Honolulu #Hawaii #CityBudget #Taxes

Hawaii lawmakers hailed a massive tax cut just two years ago as the largest in state history. Most residents barely noticed any difference. Now they want to claw back 30% of it. When one party holds a supermajority with little real opposition or accountability, it rarely misses

$40M in homeless housing contracts with no invoice review, no bid process, no cost validation. Hawaii's state auditor had to write a letter just to ask "where is the money going?" This is what no-bid emergency spending looks like. #Hawaii #GovernmentWaste #Kauhale #HawaiiPolitics

Hawaii legislature, conference week: capital gains hike, liquor tax, new gas car tax, real estate surcharge — plus rolling back the 2024 income tax cuts. They know you can't afford to live here. Their solution is to take more. #Hawaii #Taxes #CostOfLiving #HawaiiPolitics

Hawaii's Lt. Gov. allegedly took a $35K bribe in a paper bag — then said she did "nothing illegal." Now she's on leave after an AG target letter. This is one-party government in action: no competition, no accountability. #Hawaii #HawaiiPolitics #Corruption #HawaiiNews

In 2024, Hawaii lawmakers unanimously passed historic income tax cuts. Now they want to repeal them for ALL income levels — a $1.2 billion tax hike dressed up as "fiscal responsibility." Residents are already leaving. When will they get the hint? #Hawaii #HawaiiTaxes

These “homeless” programs are ripe with corruption.. I’d love to see how many have been helped with $40M.
