In caps, so people understand it.
PUERTO RICANS ARE US CITIZENS.
LOL...just having some fun. But it would be nice if they would learn English down there...they certainly have had enough time.

Who do NOT pay any income taxes to the USA!
I live here. That’s ridiculous.
Gee, I’ve been reading some promotions on the web touting PR as the next Singapore. I guess opinions about the likelihood of that vary.
You realize that under 5% of Puerto Ricans are in favor independence, don’t you?
Puerto Ricans whom I met in the Army tended to admire Cuban culture, food & music.
Independence would turn PR into an Hispanic Haiti or a Cuban satellite, statehood would bring taxation, so the commonwealth status quo will go on.
Forty years plus ago “Operation Bootstrap” was supposed to jumpstart the PR economy. Must have fizzled like the rest of LBJ’s Great Society.
But of course you know that 2.7% are conflicted and a whopping 38.16% have reported the opposite.
That’s aside from the 12.8% who have admitted they’ve protested US Caribbean policy on one or more occasions.
Which can only lead one to conclude that 66.27% disagree.
HA! I knew someone was going to post that.
