That sounds funny, but after Florida you can see how it goes to the heart of an election. It's a great speech. Filing tax returns is already a burden with convoluted instructions, so it must be even harder for those who have difficulty reading or understanding how tax breaks will benefit them. My guess is that these targeted taxpayers don't even apply for these credits. Our local economy will benefit from more consumer dollars spent here, which allows for employers to hire more workers.
More workers means more taxpayers.
In order to be fair, any ruling has to benefit all people not a select few. Hawaii may not have the nation's highest income tax, but when applying the cost of living here, it results in fewer dollars in your pocket to spend. It is much higher when considering its benefits to children's teeth. Only a small percentage of our water is used for drinking, and a smaller percent is consumed by the number of children in relation to the total population. Much of our water is used for industrial, commercial and agricultural consumption.
