>Taxation without representation? This means war!
>Puerto Rico is taxed by the federal government and has no Congressional or Senate representation

Can an American explain the hypocrisy here?

>Puerto Rico

Who fucking cares. We should send all the fence jumpers there.
>>
Taxation wasn't the reason the war broke out
The Intolerable Acts were

Moreover Puerto Rico still retains the right to petition Congress, they just do not have the ability to vote in Congress until both concerned parties pass the necessary legislation to uplift Puerto Rico to statehood

puerto ricans have voted to not become part of the union, they have chosen their position.

personally i think it would be cool to have them as part of the states though.

Taxing and refusing statehood is not the same as giving a minority population of your country the right to grab 20% of its land and fuck off because they think their guttural language makes them unique. This is no different than Mexicans up and deciding Texas is theirs.

Canada also wasn't founded on the idea that Quebec was an independent country, quite the opposite.

>explain your cunt's resistance to quebecois independence you beaver

Canada is 19% French, the US is 18% Hispanic.

Imagine if tomorrow you woke up and there was a Mexican on your news telling Trump

"Hey gringo, no habla ingles, now we're going to take Texas and New Mexico and split. But we also demand that we retain travel and trade rights with the rest of the US. Also we're going to keep the military assets that are here for our own."

Because that's what started in the 80s with Quebec.

It actually isn't but fuck the facts, that's besides the point: I want to give it back to Spain.

>It actually isn't but fuck the facts

Funny, your own .gov government websites say it is, only income tax is exempt and that's not the only federal taxes.

quebec has a french majority, texas has a white majority.

either integrate quebec or set them free. as of right now they only add to canadas pathetic international presence as the rest of the world see how they push you around

No that isn't a meme. They don't pay federal income taxes. At all.

They never have.

They don't pay income tax, which is the real federal tax. In order to be represented they need to become a state.

They're the ones that refuse to vote in their own status referendums.

wut?

>>76793856
They do vote, but they choose to maintain the status quo. Choosing Independence or statehood would fuck them over.
>>
>>76792122
tip: they had representation and taxes weren't very bad - it was an excuse to break off, just like the dozens of excuse-lies parroted to be able to invade and steal land of neighbouring nations.

They didn't care about taxes (which they barely paid anyway) or any of the other excuses. They just wanted to break away, mostly so they could expand westwards.
