Section 936 phased out is another
Way to force us to take Statehood.

Thousands of workers if not millions of workers would lose their jobs When Section 936 is phased out. By the year 2005 section 936 will Be complety phased out. Many jobs have already been lost during The previous several years due to the phase out. More worrisome Has been the inability to attract comparably paying jobs to Puerto Rico to substitute for those that have been lost.
Why? How could this happen to Puerto Rico? Very simple. They want to force Puerto Rico to become part of the United State by the forces of the PNP and they don’t care
If millions lose there jobs in Puerto Rico. Without Section 936 American co and other companies would have to pay federal taxes
Even thought PR is not a state. This is almost the same thing The happen when England force taxes to the American colonies.
How can these companies pay federal taxes when the laws say Very clear, No taxes without representation. This companies paying
Taxes are okay if Puerto Rico was a state but is not. But tanks God the we have Latin congressman fighting to come With something new. One of them is Luis V. Gutierrez.
He is a member of congress. His phone is 202-225-8203. Him and other are working on H.R. 2138. What is H.R. 2138? This is to amend the Internal Revenue Code to extent the credit for Businesses operating in Prico
And also help other possessions of the US. This bill would Allow for existing and new companies operating in PR to Benefit from a credit against their federal corporate tax liability. The goal of this important legislation is to attract investment and
Job creation by more companies. Another reason to say No to Statehood. No one should force our people to become A state by removing jobs from PR!
