By "we" do you mean, er, Americans? Puerto Ricos are Americans.

Does it also bother you that you're "buying" power lines in Oklahoma, Transmission terminals in California, Nevada, and Arizona, and windmills in Wyoming? https://www.utilitydive.com/user_media/cache/07/43/07436e35b...

By "we" I mean those of us who pay federal income tax.
Do you believe every American that benefits from US taxes pays federal income tax?

Do you believe the benefits an American receives should be tied to the tax money they pay in?

Do you believe Joe Blow Puerto Rican gas station attendant, who does pay income tax, cares whether it's federal or Puerto Rico? If you have an issue with tax law, why on Earth would you take it up with anybody other than the people that write the tax laws - the executive and legislative Branches?
