Where’s St Thomas VI and Puerto Rico?

Can someone please tell me (joke folks;}) where’s St Thomas VI and Puerto Rico?

The only time we ever hear about these two territorial countries is when we need these wonderful folks for something. Hello - Hillary, Obama, McCain and Nader For many years it seems that The United States Government have kept these citizens on the back burner like second-class citizens. Guess what folks; yes, they pay their fair share of taxes too.  Our Government has the nerves to push for the rights of the citizens in Cuba, when the citizens of St Thomas VI and Puerto Rico still don’t have the rights, to call their country a state of the United States of America. Well, this time around let’s see what our politicians will promise those fine folks (and by the way I have family in both counties) for their support. It maybe time to consider bringing St Thomas VI and Puerto Rico in our union.

How about some clarity in your statement. Most Puerto Ricans pay payroll taxes, NOT INCOME TAXES. There is a HUGE difference. Secondly, Puerto Rico is a Commenwealth with it's own Constitution. Puerto Rico enjoy most of the benefit of being a State within the United States, yet they enjoy the comforts with LESS tax burden. Every once in a while, the issue of statehood arises and is never passed. Why might you ask???? Because the bi-cameral government of Puerto Rico has no incentive to become a state and neither do Puerto Rico's citizens.
Would you vote more taxes for yourself?
