And you did not read a single line of what I posted because automatically you assume it's the from the New Progressive Party line when it is not... In fact the association that website belongs too has lambasted the NPP time and time again for not being pro active in the quest for Statehood and equality and no Equality does not mean monetary parity to us all. It's pretty arrogant of you to assume that most statehooders all they want is the money they can get from Uncle Sam, most certainly not all of us are like that. Is there a welfare mentality in the island which was ironically encouraged by the U.S itself during the Cold War? Absolutely. And that mindset needs to change because with that mindset not even the European Union as liberal as they are would want us around.
