So then, you think all of the hotel workers, housekeeping staff, anyone that makes under lets say $30,000 a year should pack up and move to the mainland someplace ?

So are you going to go work in the hotels or some restaurants then to support the visitor industry after all the low income employees are gone ?  If all of the low income people left, the economy of the state would collapse in a few weeks. No one thinks about this but we rely on the low income to be our indentured servants.
