Do you read? Have someone read my post to you... slowly. I did not state that the citizens pay federal income tax... they pay an income tax locally. Then pr pays federally. 4 billion. Dumbfuck.

Nothing quite like continuing to see this American vs American mindset. Puerto Ricos problems are small potatoes compared to the civil unrest and emotionally charged atmosphere right here in the US. We won't be too concerned about Puerto Rico when our entire economic infrastructure collapses in the near future. We'll be more concerned with how we're going to feed our own families and keep them safe
This I can agree with and BOTH parties plus the president need to get their shit together and plot the way to making this country great again. All this partisanship makes me sick to my stomach and the time to fix the country's ills are running short as the people are running out of patience.Nothing quite like continuing to see this American vs American mindset.

Puerto Rico receives over 21 billion (in 2011 i’m sure it’s way more now) in federal aid and benefits yet only pay 4 billion in federal taxes.
that’s an imbalance of about 17 billion
what say you?
