What was the Governor's response to the lawsuit? He accused Walmart of being "moneygrubbers", a charge that members of his own party have distanced themselves from.
Don’t suppose the island can leave us too.
Puerto Rico ping
“Walmart Tax”——Bill of attainder?
I know latinos. They love Walmart. There WILL be riots.
I am sure all the people on the island will just love having to drive all over the place to get all the stuff they used to get from Walmart and pay twice as much for it all!
lol

Feel the Bern ... lol
This guy is crazy. When we lived there and Walmart opened it was like a gift from above especially for the locals who it looked like they couldn’t buy enough. They would come out of the store loaded with goods.
91.5% tax rate? That’s a goal and dream for Obama and his crew.
If Walmart takes flight, people in Puerto Rico will have to settle for Kmart, which has been there for many years.
Sounds like a job without much of a future.
“Walmart Vice President for Special Taxes in Puerto Rico “
communists don’t care if businesses need to make a profit to remain open. communists really want the government to own all businesses; then there would be no need to make a profit.
91.5 % tax rate = Moneygrubbin Govment.
92.5 percent!!??
did they really need the .5?

Yes, drive all over the place to buy at higher prices from local MERCHANTS WHO AVOID PAYING MOST TAXES -— AND WHAT TAXES THEY ACTUALLY PAY WON’T BE AT THE 91% Walmart rate.
RUNNING OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY is no fun. These parasites should NEVER be allowed to become a state (with two new ‘RAT Senators).
So did the 'shoppers' in Ferguson.
Corporations do not pay taxes. People pay the taxes embedded in the cost of goods sold.
You’re going to feel the Bern when the taxpayers bail out Puerto Rico.
K-Mart is now part of Sears. Sears is on the verge of bankruptcy itself. Don’t get all excited about being able to shop at K-Mart if Walmart goes away.
