Peurto Ricans don't pay federal income tax on income derived from within Peurto Rico.
Man look at all those qualifiers.
Workers in Puerto Rico pay Social Security taxes, self-employment taxes, and more. IRS figures for 2023 show that Puerto Rico paid $5,140,301, compared with Vermont’s $5,660,731.
I didn't know you were Canadian. Is the entire damn country on SN?
He is a Canadian living in the US. Does that even count? Haha
It better, since you're all going to be Canadians living in the US pretty soon.
Better not let us vote. Unless you like permanent power for the Dems.
Being a territory is a better deal than being a state anyway. I suggest Canada negotiate for that. No voting and no taxes.
Peurto Rico people pay taxes
Not to the feds
Yes they do.

No federal taxes but our next socialist governor will make territory income tax 60%.
Sure, but that was going to happen either way.
You'll be like Peurto Rico. Forever a territory, never a state
This was slick
I’m prepared. Will simplify work visa and cross border tax lol
All 2 of them?
What are the odds?
No, because Canada would vote bluer than California.
I voted depends on the deal for context but I think it is mostly a bad idea.
I think you split western Canada, eastern Canada, and Quebec into their own states / territories.
West = republican
Ontario = dem
Quebec = bloc Quebec independent lol
Just give them equal seats
Only Alberta
Canada will never become a state maybe a territory like Guam 🇬🇺 or Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Alberta would probably come willingly. North Texas
The US needs less states not more. One of the worst ideas I have heard in a while. I'm for breaking up the US. It's already far to large and diverse.
No way this happens. Trump is an amazing troll but for real. No way.
No freaking fuckiding way!
Just as the survey says...
FUCK THAT!
I really don't think there is any benefit to this modification.
