A reflection on Independence Day and a reminder that Puerto Ricans are not a part of it.
Though Puerto Ricans don’t pay federal taxes, Puerto Rico pays the U.S. more than $3bn in taxes a year. They can’t vote for President and their Resident Commissioner can’t vote in Congress. It’s literally taxation without representation.
We are free to fight for and pay into this country but not enough to be truly free on these lands.
