Puerto Ricans dont pay federal taxes the same way other US citizens do.

And they dont vote in US elections...

And it will cost $96 billion to completely rebuild Puerto Rico - approximately $6400 per tax payer in the US. That is twice the entire foreign aid the US gives out in any given year.

So while Puerto Rico might be a territory they arent really the same as a state and its citizens arent on the same footing as US citizens.

Would you agree to cut all foreign aid to all other countries for 2 years so we can rebuild Puerto Rico, since in essence its still a foreign country. They could take the $96 billion and vote to be an independent country once the rebuilding is complete and there is nothing we could do about it.
