No, they don’t pay federal income taxes. They should stop leeching off the Taxpayers.You seem confused. Puerto Ricans are able to vote and they do pay taxes. Just not for president...and not federal income taxes if they happen to reside in Puerto Rico.So you are okay with American citizens not paying taxes and not being able to vote! Got it.They def ain’t no citizen here
Says you, citing yourself.
The actual law contradicts you.
§1402. Persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941. All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.
(June 27, 1952, ch. 477, title III, ch. 1, §302, 66 Stat. 236 .)
Now why would I or any rational person ignore the ACTUAL law in favor of whatever meaningless nonsense you make up?
And if you moved to Puerto Rico, neither would you.
And you'd be no less a U.S. Citizen for it.
