GOP tax bill will devastate Puerto Rico - Governor vows revenge!

[DrLove]

Republican bastards stick it to those damn brown "foreigners"

Two new proposed taxes in particular are at issue: an excise tax of 20 percent on products manufactured by subsidiaries of U.S. companies located outside the U.S., and a 12 percent tax on income derived from intangible assets (such as patents and intellectual property) by American companies outside the U.S.

But why do these taxes involve Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory and not a foreign nation? Because the tax bill considers Puerto Rico to be outside the U.S., a foreign country like Mexico or Venezuela.

Sounds crazy? It should.​

But not to worry - they're going to make 'em pay - Say so long to Florida in particular!

Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló says he plans to mobilize 5.3 million Puerto Ricans living on the mainland to shake up the midterm elections in states ranging from Florida to California.

“We’re not just going to stand by. We are going to take action.”

The 3.4 million U.S. citizens living on the island have no vote in Congress, but they do have 5.3 million fellow Puerto Ricans scattered across the mainland who do have a vote. It’s that political power Rosselló plans to leverage.​

Puerto Ricans do not pay federal income taxes. They are exempt because they are not a state. Let that sink in.

Nonsensical spin Jim - 5.3 million Puerto Ricans are going to render Trump's majorities toast in less than a year

Is there any strategic value to Puerto Rico?

Yes, but Texas is questionable - Trump and FEMA were all over that one eh?

Did you know that Nancy Pelosi wanted the minimum wage to go up to $7.50 an hour for all the 50 states but territories like PR and Samoa were to stay at $5.00 an hour because her husband had Star Kist Tuna in Samoa and would cut into his profits? Those people don't pay income taxes, so why shouldn't they have to pay "THEIR FAIR SHARE" some other way?

newsweek? Really?

Newsweek isn't the same thing people remember from the 80's and 90's. Whoever bought the name basically uses it as a crazy lefty version of Newsmax.

 

[blastoff]

As you evolved into the Peoples' Republic of Puerto Rico it was only a matter of time until something Margaret Thatcher once said made sense.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Puerto Ricans will vote against Trump in the next election.

Except they can't vote. Hmmmm.

Trump's majorities?

That has nothing to do with Congressional elections.

When people start seeing more money in their paychecks, you think they will vote for Dems to take it away?

Why are you so stupid? Is it a talent or do you practice daily?
