While the trump administration yanks roughly $3 billion in federal support away from Hawaii, Governor Josh Green just signed it into law: a 13% income tax on every dollar earned above $1 million, a direct and defiant answer to Washington's austerity from 5,000 miles away.

The state's own governor's office confirmed the new tax law was designed specifically to address a projected revenue shortfall driven in part by federal actions expected to reduce state revenues by nearly $3 billion. Rather than gutting services for the people who need them most, Hawaii made a choice: protect food security, childcare, and healthcare by asking the wealthiest residents to pay their share.

The package also preserves the tax cuts passed in 2024 for joint filers earning up to $350,000 and single filers earning up to $175,000, meaning roughly 90% of Hawaii families see no increase at all.

This is not a radical idea, it's just math. The same logic is playing out in New York City, where Zohran Mamdani has made taxing the wealthy the centerpiece of balancing the city's books.

From the Pacific to the Atlantic, blue states are arriving at the same conclusion: when the federal government walks away from its people, you look up the income ladder for the revenue, not down. Hawaii just wrote the blueprint.
