Default Question for Americans

Sorry this might sound stupid and ignorant but I was just pondering over and over this week as to why Hawaii and Alaska are always excluded from American Giveaways? Anyone have an awnser?

I'm Canadian and the only 2 places I can see myself living in the states would be Hawaii and Alaska! So it's just wierd

Living in Hawaii all my life, I've come to expect you PAY the price for living in paradise. That means you will be jipped out of shipping and many other things. Yes its unfair but in all honesty, many people don't mind. Cost of living here is way high. I spent 170,000 dollars on my 2 bedroom apartment fee simple.
