Tax bill bad for Puerto Rico

-

Kick ’em when they’re down. That’s what a provision in the proposed House tax plan would do to Puerto Rico. It would impose a 20 percent tax on goods made in Puerto Rico and shipped to the U.S. mainland. It would effectivel­y kill manufactur­ing on the island nation devastated by hurricanes and in desperate need of economic recovery.

Is this how the Trump administra­tion gets back at Puerto Rico, whose people are United States citizens, for needing our assistance? How heartless can you get?
