I think it is time to admit Puerto Rico as the 51st state

[Contumacious]

We're not discussing them. Puerto Rico is the discussion, and they don't. So that would change, so your statement was fking WRONG, it isn't the only thing that changes.

That is not a change which affect the 50 states. I was discussing changes which would adversely affect sister states.
Representation in Congress would affect the other 50 states.
Paying federal taxes would only affect those who live on the island.

Are you so small you can't own up to mistakes? Are you above making them?

New York is #1, and 4 of the top 5 are blue states run by people just like you. Of course.

Let's look at percapita. In West Virginia, 1 out 5 people are receiving full blown welfare or just short 20%

In NY, it's 13.9%.

Now, take into consideration that NY pays more to the Feds than they get back at a 1.07 rate. West Virginia is the opposite where it takes 1.04 tax dollars while paying in 1.0. That means that NY is paying for the poverty in West Virginia.

Out of the bottom 15 states, all but two are not considered deep red.

Like I said, mainland corporations based on the island and millionaires who relocated and reside there do not want to pay federal taxes.

"Created to incentivize investment in the Puerto Rican economy, Act 22, now part of Act 60, has created a tax haven for American millionaires and billionaires, allowing them to avoid federal and local taxes."

No the territory has never voted successfully for statehood or independence

No territory? Funny how South Dakota was once part of the Dakota Territories but they voted not only be break into North and South but to join the union as South Dakota. Next you are going to tell me that South Dakota was not the origin Suffrage state.

No taxation without representation. I heard at one time patriots died for that cause.

They pay far less taxes. And get great benefits. California is burning now with their high tax representative Prog lovefest.

 

[Vrenn]

right, they don't want to pay taxes.

I wonder if that's the reason for the Wake Islands? Of course, the population number might have a lot to do with it.

 

[BackAgain]

No. Grant them full independence.

Cheering for fires and lying about FEMA not helping hurricane victims, MAGA all the way!

whoa, they have representation with taxation there.

No voting representation. If VT & WY get two senators, so should DC.

With representation comes taxation!!!! so representation isn't the only thing that they gain, they pay federal taxes as well. There is a Bill of Material that includes one Rep and one tax

I wish the DC patriots the best of luck when they try to overthrow the government.
Or they can be Maryland.
