Easy TEEEJ, there's a warning up from Annette about that sort of behavior on the other thread.
Vicki, if you object to paying Federal Taxes you'd certainly object to what you'd pay if you had the right to vote as a state. You get plenty of protection and benefit from the US constitution unrelated to who is in office. Doesn't that count for something? If you want the vote, are you and the constituency of PR ready for the other obligations of statehood? The reason PR isn't a state yet is specifically because the population has refused to vote for assuming the overhead. The option comes around every few years.
