An article in a local Puerto Rico newspaper, describes the powerful economic forces that have and are spending millions
of dollars and political resources to influence the political powers in
Washington who will decide the future
of Puerto Rico. (See link below)
These financial moguls are fighting against each other in Washington to have control
on whatever system is approved by Congress to resolve the Puerto Rico economic crisis. They
also have, as their personal allies and assets, top leaders from Puerto Rico's political
scenario, regardless of party or ideological affiliation.
They are the colonial economic establishment, supported by a
bottomless purse filled with millions $$$ by Corporate Welfare Corporations, the Puerto Rican millionaire elite, and those
who live sumptuously from working for them. They govern Puerto Rico in the background and
have very $$$ persuasive influence on key issues that affect the US citizens in Puerto Rico under our
territorial status.
Enmeshed in this tangle of corporate welfare, with special tax
gimmicks for the rich who relocate to Puerto Rico, are our dreams to have our
Puerto Rico free from corruption, crime
and poverty, and the hopes of becoming prosperous for all our future generations.
(ex: Laws 20 & 21 passed by former Gov Fortuño, which allows US millionaires who
relocate to PR not have to pay State or Federal taxes)
Within this economically powerful establishment die are our
dreams of decolonization and statehood. The people of Puerto Rico do not choose
their leaders .... the establishment spends millions to select the candidates
who better serve them and then present them to the people. That way, no matter
what party wins.... the $$$ establishment continues to govern for their benefit. The fact that
Washington is now preparing to look inside and fix this decayed and bankrupt
system to help its fellow citizens in Puerto Rico, has them spending millions
and fighting against each other like dogs, to see who keeps control of this tax free millionaires'
paradise, but hell hole of the poor.
We have our hopes and dreams that Speaker Paul Ryan will see
through this scheme and help the US citizens in Puerto Rico move forward to a
better life.
