PUERTO RICO'S TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for Puerto Rico’s taxation without representation?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) delves into the island of Puerto Rico. Considered unincorporated US territory, the residents have American citizenship and are subject to US law and taxes. But, no right to vote in the US congress! Why not?! Is this the ripples of British Colonialism at play? Do selfish economic interests have something to do with it? Or perhaps the conveniently undefined relationship status is advantageous. Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
