Puerto Rico is the only place for a libertarian state. There are no federal taxes, no obamacare mandates, and the government is actively promoting capitalism. It can be the Hong Kong of the Carribean.

Those who are exempt from Federal income taxes get to pay income taxes to PR instead, which has lower thresholds than if paying to the Feds. Plus PR has all sorts of interesting taxes on property, receipts, sales, etc. The benefit is to those who earn most of their money from passive income, capital gains. If you’re a worker bee, it’s not a particularly good deal. Plus their gun laws are on a par with Hawaii, and the criminality is on a par with Mexico.

No thanks. If a competing group wants to propose PR, I’d welcome it. I wouldn’t expect it, though.
