Flip Side of the Coin
Flip Side of the Coin is a podcast where people can go to explore different viewpoints on many issues. We take an issue and in one episode we examine and explore one viewpoint, and then in the next episode we do the same for the other side of the issue. Our goal is to give our listeners a place where they can explore differing viewpoints and their merits without feeling the need to defend themselves or argue back. Join us as we explore political and social issues, and even break down some issues that are just for fun, as we examine how others view the world in Flip Side of the Coin.

We continue our conversation around Puerto Rico's future with the United States. This week we look at some reasons why some residents of Puerto Rico argue against statehood.
We look at how statehood would increase residents' tax burden in addition to looking at cultural reasons why some Puerto Ricans may see a future as an independent nation as a better path for Puerto Rico.
