New Hawaii Governor says the tax hike the people don’t want is “the people’s will”

Libs seem to be completely flummoxed by the tax revolt that’s going on in this country. Take new Democrat Governor Neil Abercrombie, for example.

Libs seem to be completely flummoxed by the tax revolt that’s going on in this country. Take new Democrat Governor Neil Abercrombie, for example. Much like the Kenyan Hawaiian boy he knew who grew up to be President, Abercrombie’s solution to soaring debt is more spending and higher taxes.

Two peas, one pod: The solution to debt is more spending and higher taxes

The Hawaii Free Press has the taxing tale from the Aloha State:

After campaigning on a promise not to raise taxes and specifically not to raise the GE [General Excise] Tax, Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie this week has promised to sign any GE Tax hike approved by the Legislature. Abercrombie says it is up to the legislature to decide “if some want to benefit at the expense of others.” And he is blaming the public for not rallying behind his proposed pension tax and Medicare Part B cuts without which he says “every body’s taxes will go sky-high”.

A recently released Democrat-run People’s Pulse poll shows 68% oppose GE Tax hike—including 49% who “strongly oppose” a GE Tax hike. But the news of Abercrombie’s latest broken campaign promise is drawing the slimmest media attention.

Christina M, a Hawaii resident who sent us this tip, said it best:

Does this remind you of anyone in particular? Maybe his “best friend” the President? At least that is what Ambercrombie keeps saying every chance he gets.

This is the same guy who promised to find Obama’s birth certificate, then admitted it probably didn’t exist.

This guy, within 5 seconds of being governor, released $30Mil that the last gov had in savings so that furlough Fridays would end. Then, not 8 weeks later, was asking the legislature for money because now the state can’t pay its bills. He also wants to raise taxes on alcohol 50% and taxes on non-diet sugary soft drinks by like 10 or 15%!

Pray for me, I have to live in this state with this liberal whack-job!
