I sued to be stationed in Puerto Rico and their citizens do not want statehood for one simple reason. They receive federal funds from Washington and at that time did not pay federal income tax.

If they were to become a state, those who have jobs will become as enslaved as we are. They'll be paying the bills for the democrat base, too. There's a huge tuna industry there, so they'll get hit with the Death Care Bill, the VAT tax, and the Cap and Tax bill as well.
If they were smart, they'd fight to the death to remain free. They'd be stupid to voluntarily become U.S. taxpayer slaves.
