“Puerto Ricans had better be wary. This may be biased in favor of Taxhood (that’s “impuesto” in Spanish)”

I am a resident of Puerto Rico and a lifelong statehooder. With the way the federal goverment is going, however, many like me believe that we should put the statehood thing on hold for a while longer.

An overbearing federal government might be the prompting the rest of us need to push for more "10th ammendment" state autonomy. Statehood might be a good thing but you should not have to give up your autonomy to get it; we should be pushing for more autonomy.
