Why should we annex Puerto Rico?
There are a number of reasons why it would make sense for Puerto Rico to become the 51st state. One is that a slight majority of Puerto Ricans wish to fully join the United States. Puerto Ricans are already considered U.S. citizens, although they cannot vote in U.S. elections unless they live in the United States (and not in Puerto Rico). Further, Puerto Ricans already pay some forms of U.S. federal taxes, Social Security, and others. Puerto Rico has been under U.S. sovereignty since the end of the Spanish-American War.
Do Puerto Ricans pay US self-employment tax?
Puerto Ricans permanent residents pay ALL federal taxes except federal income tax on money earned on Puerto Rico from businesses located on Puerto Rico. The so-called "Self-employment tax" is the portion of social security and medicare tax payed by an employer on behalf of their employee. So if some one is their own employee (self-employed) they have to pay the business portion of these taxes as well as the employee's portion. This means that Puerto Ricans have to pay the so-called self-employment tax.
