That's how I see it. If it wasn't for the generous financial benefits they receive because of their commonwealth status, I think the majority would have voted for independence years ago. Hey, I don't blame them; if Americans are stupid enough to subsidize them why would they rock the boat? They had a pretty sweet deal going on and all they had to put up with was a military base where live bombing took place. I guess they just want the money without having to be inconvenienced. I think that they need to be taught that that is not the way things work in this world.
The biggest bomb we dropped wouldn't even cause a ripple on the top of a 'Rum & Coke' at the closest resort.
Inconvenienced nuthin', they couldn't even hear it over their car stereos. Did you ever drive around Puerto Rico and listen to how loud the wackos play their music? They all must be legally deaf. They wouldn't hear a bomb, if it landed next to them.
And the speaker trucks that run around the island during campaign season. You wouldn't believe your ears.
There's a lot of politicians and land developers that want that property that the Navy is on for free. It's worth billions.
