Have you people any idea how dysfunctional it is?
In what way is PR being a state in the national interest of the United States?
Do you all go around bring dysfunctional people into your home? Why would you do same for your country?
The outcome will be higher spending. There will be a few million more outstretched hands. Is this really the time to be considering such a thing? |
They currently collect welfare yet don't pay any income tax. I don't really see how Puerto Rico becoming a state hurts the bottom line. |

Puerto Rico has eliminated capital gains for new residents
| Quote: |
John Paulson, a lifelong New Yorker, is exploring a move to Puerto Rico, where a new law would eliminate taxes on gains from the $9.5 billion he has invested in his own hedge funds, according to four people who have spoken to him about a possible relocation.
Ten wealthy Americans have already taken advantage of the year-old Puerto Rican law that lets new residents pay no local or U.S. federal taxes on capital gains, according to Alberto Baco Bague, Secretary of Economic Development and Commerce of Puerto Rico. The marginal tax rate for affluent New Yorkers can exceed 50 percent. |
I no longer want Puerto Rico to become a state. |

Why? If it became a state, it could no longer be a tax haven from federal capital gains taxes.
Or have you bene like John Paulson and thinking of moving to PR to take advantage of its tax laws?  |

| PR is the future. Oligarchs pay nothing and fields of proles wait on tables. |

| This is the island that was responsible for Menudo, I'm not saying they shouldn't be a state but just throwing that out there ............ |
 Are you referring to the dish or the music group? If it's the dish you are referring to, Menudo is delicious. |
