Puerto Rico Ballot Initiative

Heh.  Wow the Republicans' level of political sanity continues to slip.  I guess they just want to be seen as the anti-Latino party.  That will do wonders for them in the future.

You're basing that on a statement in a blog?

If we lived in a sane world that wasn't driven by identity politics, I think the US would be forcing Puerto Rico to become a state with Puerto Rico resisting. It is crazy they get an income tax exclusion and are contemplating giving it up.

Wouldn't many Ricans be excluded from income tax anyways on the grounds that they're dirt fucking poor and fall beneath the minimum taxable income?

I think Mitt got them over the line there, they realized they were in the 47% and didn't pay income tax so they voted yes for more government handouts.

I think the Republicans should oppose this on the traditional republican grounds of anti-imperialism.

Yes.

I asked before about the handouts, but I don't think there are any that they don't get as a result of not being a state. I could be wrong.


There are still some sane, even sane latino Republicans out there. Running Brian Sandoval for President would be a decent idea.

Once they get some congressmen and senators they can start getting their own pork. I think the US Navy is looking for a firing range, that will create some jobs.
