Island Idiocy

Hawaii has found a new way to scam tourists:

ABC7 reported, “Hawaii's governor signed legislation Tuesday that boosts a tax imposed on hotel room and vacation rental stays in order to raise money to address eroding shorelines, wildfires and other consequences of climate change.” If only elected and appointed officials did their jobs properly and preventative measures condemned by climate alarmists were taken, Hawaii wouldn’t need to worry about catastrophic wildfires or alleged climate change crises. The issue isn’t a lack of money but a lack of integrity and competence. In other words, the issue is Democrats. They tax the life out of their prosperous citizens until those prosperous citizens leave. They not only bloat the welfare state for citizens but also for illegal aliens (though when a natural disaster occurs, they suddenly have no more aid for poor people). They make every city and state they control a hellhole of crime, debt, impoverishment, and danger. Then, when everyone who can afford to leave has left, they begin taxing whatever tourists they might still be able to attract. Talk about a recipe for failure.

If you tax it, they won't come...
