Puerto Rico is an important link in the global tax evasion scheme, since we are almost like a state, with US currency, banks, etc. But worse of all is the fact that this benefit to tax evaders is at the expense of the US Citizens in Puerto Rico who are denied the benefits of statehood, (after voting in favor of statehood in Nov 6th, 2013), in order to protect this tax scam.
Puerto Rico's only non voting representative in the US Congress, Pedro Pierluisi, supports this tax scheme. He works and lobbies strongly in their favor.
One of the recent mortal blows to Puerto Rico is the bankruptcy of the Public Pension System. UBS has been responsible for Puerto Rico's Government public pension system investments. Miguel Ferrer, who directs the Puerto Rico UBS office led the team that resulted in the PR Public Pension Plan going bankrupt due to bad investments and possibly fraud with the people's money.
Thousands of Puerto Rico's present and retired government workers are affected ! This is presently producing extreme anxiety and chaos in our island, a United States Territory. mj

See they really don't need the spy mosquitos in Puerto Rico , because they have enough people who would sell their sould to the devil to crush the people of Puerto Rico making them believe that the USA doesn't want them to become a state. They already have three representatives in congress who say they represent the Americans in the territory of Puerto Rico and they tell congress that they are better off in their actual status because that's what they want congress to believe. And really congress is no0t willing to hear the claims of over two million Puertoricans not because they are not educated or can Speak the language but because they know the Americans in tht territory will tell them exactly what they don't want to hear. And that is "We the Americans that live in the territory of Puerto Rico wish to become the 51st state of the Union as soon as possible, no if or buts. Thank you gentlemen. have a nice day.
