Puerto Rico still in the dark 100 days later

two brown, one black

Jesus, dude. What, no 'yellow' or 'red' ones? Children aren't colors, Kevin. Totally inappropriate.

In context, totally appropriate. Less than genius accused him of only pretending to care about “brown people” and only caring about “white people.”

Yeah, I guess I need Jesus in my life.

That is certainly not all you need but yeah, that would be a great first step.

Here comes captain positive to save the day.

If Trump had half a brain he'd realize the imminent political backfire. Nearly 300,000 Puerto Ricans have already migrated to the mainland.

And more coming every day. At least I'm making money off of it now doing Spanish Medicaid exams. But at some point this is going to break the bank for good.

I'm starting to doubt we'll ever get the wall built especially if all these Puerto Ricans start voting in Florida. Latin America will continue to create more poverty. Hurricanes and the manmade element of global warming are just creative ways to blame America and say the taxpayer owes Latin America money so they can continue to overpopulate and stick us with the bill.

Wow. LDS version of Christianity on display at it's best.

Hey Maxine, how do you feel about free birth control and legal abortions?

There's nothing LDS at all about my view. It's just the way it is.

Hey Maxine, how do you feel about free birth control and legal abortions?

Poverty helps create overpopulation and in turn overpopulation creates more poverty. But it's not because people can't afford birth control. It's because if a woman has a choice between a great job and a child, she'll choose to have no or less children. If she has no good job prospects, she'll start having children. It's the human drive to reproduce coupled with the unrestrained irresponsible behavior of having children you have no means nor plan to be able to pay for.

Maybe that doesn't completely explain it. But one thing for sure is that the poorest people continue to have the most children and it has little if anything to do with access to birth control. Who can't afford a condom?

Latin America needs to figure this out for themselves. Writing them checks with US taxpayer money is only going to make the problem worse.

Building a big border wall would be harmful to the environment and a waste of tax payers money. Puerto Ricans are already American citizens. In 2016, about 72% of Puerto Ricans within Florida voted for Hillary.

If they want help, they should choose statehood and start paying federal taxes like the rest of us.

You said:

And then you posted the wiki link. For some reason you think we're giant “F” ing morons and wouldn't, nay couldn't, notice:

The Commonwealth government has its own tax laws and Puerto Ricans are also required to pay most US federal taxes,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] with the major exception being that most residents do not have to pay the federal personal income tax.[9] In 2009, Puerto Rico paid $3.742 billion into the US Treasury.[10] Residents of Puerto Rico pay into Social Security, and are thus eligible for Social Security benefits upon retirement. However, they are excluded from the Supplemental Security Income.

The federal taxes paid by Puerto Rico residents include import/export taxes,[11] federal commodity taxes,[12] and others. Residents also pay federal payroll taxes, such as Social Security[13] and Medicare taxes.[14]

Like. Is that what you do? You go to the source I just suggested you use, and then cherry pick an out-of-context line, basically lying or in Trump's words 'Fake News' and pass it off as supporting your erroneous point?

Why would you do that? Why would you purposefully lie like that? What's wrong with you?
