A new congressional bill, HR 4900, calls for the reduction of the minimum wage in Puerto Rico from $7.25 an hour, to $4.25 an hour. The bill is also creates a Financial Control Board to make…

Slight reminder to my non-Rican friends that the US leeches billions upon billions of dollars from us, we have no say in anything especially anymore with the “reform” that has taken away most of our rights, we pay same taxes as you people in outrageous numbers (right now at 11.5% on everything), AND have the most expensive import embargo that being the USA’s. All of this is being ignored by the media and CNN, FOX and US media outlets keep pushing that WE’RE the ones leeching off of the mainland and it’ll cost YOU guys money to help us. This is bullshit. They’re killing us here and taking our rights away slowly. Please stop ignoring this.
