And what would be so terrible about Puerto Rican independence? Other than a cruise stop, have you ever been to Puerto Rico? I lived there for 18 months. I got to know plenty of Puerto Ricans. You know what I found out? I found out that people are people everywhere. I met the same type of honest, hard working, family-oriented people there as I did in Dayton, Tennessee, or Dayton, Ohio for that matter.
There are just as many jerks, punks and gettin' over types everywhere too.
If the Puerto Rican people want independence, let them have it. Who are you? George III?
Yes but how many Puerto Ricans really want an independent country? I don't see any demonstrations on the street of San Juan or Puerto Rican terrorist groups attacking the US to make a statement, I have met many Puerto Ricans as well and they like being part of the US because they can come and go without a green card, becoming independent would take that away and they would basically become Mexico on an island.
Why do Puerto Ricans want to stay US citizens?
Simple.
They pay ZERO federal income tax.
Yet American taxpayers fork over almost 20 billion in aid to their country each year.
Approximately 60% are on welfare and food stamps.
25% unemployment is the norm.
Most PR's who live on the island hate America.
Watch a PR parade in any American city.
No American flags; just PR flags.
