Puerto Rico isn't so much a state as an annexed vacation spot.

As for Afghanistan and Iraq...they, too are being considered for statehood, but we've been working on the UK a little bit longer...

A territory is a place we want to boss around but not take responsibility for...

Territories are typically so poor that their taxes barely pay the postage to get the money to the mainland...

One rich family does not a rich territory make. Just look at ANY island in the Caribbean for proof of that!

Elect me, and I'll guarantee lower taxes for annexed territories!

Second thought, don't elect me. I'm too lazy, and I wouldn't have enought time to !
