Hawaii's general excise tax applies to nearly all sales, including groceries and many medical purchases. Exempting food and medicine would lower those prices and reduce state and county revenue.

Eliminate GE tax on food and medicine, reign in entitlement abuse and change the business climate from burdensome to opportunity and support.
