Hawaii

Hawaii

Right now the laws in Hawaii are made to benefit only a certain sector of the population. It's only made to benefit very few people and mainly people with money, that control our government. We find that the laws are made only for the rich and they serve no justice for our people. People get kicked out of their houses and it's all because some guy has a piece of paper which says that he owns it, and he doesn't even live there, he's never worked on the land and its just a law that's used to serve rich people.

In Hawaii, people can be evicted because the law is used to serve the rich.
