[Willie Green]

Puerto Rico and the rest of the free world owe the United States.

There are two opposing perspectives regarding Puerto Rico's status:

1. An island that was unjustly seized and occupied by the United States as booty of the Spanish-American war, and whose citizenry have been unfairly exploited ever since, owing nothing to America.
2. An island that was liberated from Spanish colonial rule by the United States and is a legitimate U.S. territory. As such, the citizens of Puerto Rico are also U.S. citizens and have contributed both admirably and significantly to the defence of our nation.

I happen to hold that the second perspective is proper. But even the first perspective, with which I personally disagree, shows what an ignorant and illigitimate arguement you present. Your incessant anti-Puerto Rican diatribes are the product of an irredeemably twisted and bigotted mind.

What a crock.

The people of the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica and the rest of the caribbean (most of whom the residents of Puerto Rico hate) wish they could have been unfairly exploited by being given $100's of billions in U.S. Taxpayer handouts over the last 10 decades.

Ask marron, he's seen what the Taxpayers of the United States have lavished on Puerto Rico.

We have states that need that help. The sooner Puerto Rico is given its independence the better for the U.S. Taxpayers and their families.
