Calderon realizes that the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Taxpayers may be predisposed to giving Puerto Rico the boot the way Puerto Rico booted the U.S. Navy off the U.S. Taxpayer owned Naval base on the island of Vieques during time of war.

Puerto Rico presently receives $18.8 billion plus in U.S. Taxpayer's cash, each year, has 1,000's of high-paying federal jobs that shouldn't be there and 1,000's of U.S. private sector jobs that are there because of the Section 936 'Tax Scam', that the U.S. Congress had the good sense to put an end to, that Calderon is always crying about losing. Ai bendito!

Independence for Puerto Rico would be in the best interest of the U.S. Taxpayers and their families. IMO, we can't give the ingrates in Puerto Rico their independence fast enough.

You know, if there is one good thing about this war, it is that it is distracting Congress from running our lives.

I say we ditch PR and take our taxes with us.
