Puerto Rico: Turnover of Roosevelt Roads would be boon for island, investor says

Do you see it, yet?

The companies that invest in Puerto Rico are not so naive to pursue a federal tax incentive only to be gouged by "the nasty Puerto Rican thieves".

What an absurd contention.

[4Freedom]

The greedy, ungrateful politicians from Puerto Rico craft a tax incentive plan along with their cronies in the Democrat Party that doesn't benefit Puerto Rico? Now, that's beyond absurd.

Where do you think Puerto Rico gets the taxes they collect, if they're not a portion HI-JACKED from the taxes that should have been paid to the USA by these companies?

You're too much, Willie.

Don't go to Puerto Rico. They'll sell you a bridge or maybe a Tren Urbano.

LOL!

well
I am currently in the navy right now in PR and I would have to tell you that in my opinion I think you are right let them be on their own remove their status as a commonwealth and let them see how they like not having us to look to for financial aid. The entire Puerto Rican attitude that I've noticed since being here has been one of laziness. They only have pride in being lazy and doing as little as possible to not get fired. I have never seen a region with such notoriously bad customer service (i.e. your problems are not their problems so why should I work hard to help you) but I digress, I would like to see how long it would take , once freed, for puerto rico to start begging to become a state or property of the US again if they were freed.
let me know what you think
