Against Puerto Rican Statehood

Flip Side of the Coin Season 2 Episode 4

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.
