It's sad to see the direct connection between Hawaii's Catholic bosses, progressive political operatives and the Democrat political machine.  Anybody who understands being poor knows that surviving poverty is all about CASH FLOW.  Waiting 12 months for a stupid tax credit or rebate is not helpful.  Lowering the cost of living on a daily basis is what folks need.  Eliminating the regressive GET on rents, food, medicine and other necessities not only reduces the tax at point of sale but ALSO reduces the prices, thanks to the way our GET pyramids at each point of sale.  But Mr. Walsh, like his many predecessors, are buddies with the Democrats; the same Democrats to whom charities get operational funding for their nonprofits. Speaking truth to power means telling Democrats they are overtaxing citizens and the GET needs to be completely overhauled.  The slippery, squeamish approach is to partner with liberals for a feel-good and totally useless credit or rebate.  This article is the latter.
