WHY DO MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WANT THE ILLEGAL U.S. OCCUPATION OF HAWAI'I TO END ?

Here's - Part Two

Today most of the Island of Hawai`i (Big Island) as well as Moloka`i, Lana`i and Kaua`i, are economic wastelands with little opportunity to make a decent living.

On Kaua`i workers often share apartments or small houses with several other workers because rents are too expensive for one or two individuals to afford.

And the torrential rain and floods in the last month have only made things infinitely worse.

On every island married couples with children often work two jobs each to make ends meet - if they are fortunate enough to find that many jobs, even at minimum wage.

Aside from housing, transportation and food expenses contribute heavily to Hawai`i's staggering cost of living.

The prices of gasoline, mandatory auto insurance, used cars and repair work are considerably higher than the mainland.

And only the city of Honolulu has reliable public transportation. On the other islands owning a car is a necessity to be able to work or look for jobs.
