Puerto Ricans do pay certain federal taxes. However, they generally do not pay federal income tax unless they earn income from sources outside of Puerto Rico. I didn’t get this information from Wikipedia-- I already knew this. Also, I never said anything about federal income tax in my original comment. If you believe something I said was incorrect, please point out specifically what was not true.
- kyboren 8mo agoIt wasn't incorrect, it was just misleading. Hence, "That's not entirely true," rather than, "Liar liar pants on fire!"
- jplaz 7mo agoI understand how it might have seemed misleading, but what I said was accurate. Puerto Rico does pay taxes to the U.S. government, yet its residents can’t vote in federal elections.
