I have nothing to write about today so I am just going to write about my homeland, Puerto Rico. It is a tropical island in the Caribbean with a population over 3,000,000. Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States and it's inhabitants are U.S. citizens. Puerto Ricans are subject to military service and most federal laws. However, they pay no federal income tax on locally generated earnings, but the Puerto Rican government does have an income-tax rate set. Every four years, a governor is chosen democratically. The platforms of the political parties in Puerto Rico are based on the status they wish Puerto Rico to have. There are three parties, the New Progressive Party who want statehood, the Independence Party who want independence, and the Popular Democratic Party who want it's current status to remain. The party in power right now is the Popular Democratic Party and has been in power since the year 2000.
