Woah, they don't pay income tax? Seems to be true:
Though the Commonwealth government has its own tax laws, 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.[
2. No more marching under own flag at Olympics.
3. No special entrance fees as if it was another country and not a territory of the United States.
4. Referendum on Statehood or Independence. One or the other. No more special treatment. Not strategically necessary and hasn't been since the Jet Era.
"Puerto Ricans are Americans like you - when we need money. When we don't, it's your fault our economy stank after we demanded your Navy leave, we must have our own flag at the Olympics for our athletes separate from you, and we won't pay income tax."
This would be nice for Hawaii too.
