INDEPENDENCE FOR PUERTO RICO NOW!
Ahoy matey! George LeMieux wades into the Puerto Rico vs Virgin Islands rum war
The Florida Republican has filed an amendment to a Senate jobs bill that would upend the formula the two terrorities rely on to secure taxes from run production. Rather than a formula based on how many barrels of rum produced -- the change would base tax dollars on population -- and ostensibly b...
What's next Mr. Fortuno, our oil revenues from one of the worlds largest refineries here on St. Croix??? Let me get this right....you think it is fair for us Virgin Islanders to remain as productive as we have been for centuries, produce some of the world's finest rum, and no matter what we produce, join your ponsi scheme with Mr. LeMieux and a complicit set of PIRATES in congress, and some at Bacardi Headquarters in Bermuda, to distribute our hard-earned funds based on population, not on productivity? What about our investment in Our plants, our labor, and other by-products? Are you suggesting that we become an appendage of Puerto Rico and fly "Borinquen" instead of our beloved VI flag here in the Virgin Islands?? ARE YOU DRUNK!!! My Grandmother must be turning in her grave!! NUNQUA PASA, Puerto Rico.....Grow up and run your government and not a welfare state. Help your people and stop your corruption. The people of Puerto Rico deserve real MEN running their government, not a bunch of losers who have them impoverished, and who use the Virgin Islands to cast blame. You were asleep at the switch Puerto Rico, and you knew that Diageo was in Puerto Rico, but you took matters for granted and now you want to WHINE LIKE A BABY! What Puerto Rico needs is tough love not lolipops and a pacifier. Be MEN AND WOMEN OF DECENCY Puerto Rico, not cut-throat PIRATES!
The next chapter in the rum wars: Puerto Rico comes to George LeMieux's defense
The governor of Puerto Rico is coming to the Florida Republican's defense after the governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands accused LeMieux of doing Puerto Rico's bidding by pushing an amendment that the Virgin Islands says is harmful. Both U.S. terrorities have been feuding over the taxes they earn...
Kudos to the National Black Chamber of Commerce and Governor DeJongh for standing up against 21st Century Slavery! Puerto Rico may try to bully the Virgin Islands now, but Banco Popular, First Bank VI, Home Depot, Office Max and other franchises of Puerto Rico, and Puerto Rican companies who migrate here weekly for our jobs and take their money back to Puerto Rico to save their economy have their day of reckoning coming too! We have had a peaceful existence between us for many years, but I guess Puerto Rico wants a Vieques styled, or FALN Styled confrontation!!!We in the Virgin Islands will not stand for it!!!
George LeMieux's rum runner is ripped as "unpatriotic"
The National Black Chamber of Commerce and the U.S Virgin Islands have fired off a blistering retort to Florida Republican George LeMieux, saying his amendment to change the way rum taxes are distributed would further impoverish the U.S. Virgin Islands. Harry Alford, president of the chamber, ca...
