Always wondered what 51 would look like??
It's because Puerto Rico always voted against statehood or didn't have a clear majority.
Hmm, where are they going to stick the 51st star?
Well, the US last took over Hawaii. So, taking them in isn't a huge deal.
There's two sides to every coin. So, the US will be collecting a whole country's worth of income tax. At first, PR people are going to be like, federal income tax plus state tax?
That's like 30+% of my income.
Yeah, welcome to the club, homie.
Oh yeah, well what if I don't pay that tax. What are they going to do?
Prosecute you for tax evasion. Possible federal jail time.
Que?
Are they going to run a train on me?
No. You'll be sentenced to a minimum security prison for that.
As for the Sacramento Kings comment, there's no way they are going there. They can now if they wanted to. Toronto Raptors are in Canada. No investor would stick an NBA team down there. Not enough cash in San Juan to fill up the stands.

No you fukking idiot. This is the first time it has passed with a clear majority. The FIRST time.
It has only went up as a referendum 4 times in history.
I know my islands VI are salivating at the mouth waiting for their opportunity 
So would they lose their Olympic basketball ball squad if it happens? 
It was only a matter of time, the vote for statehood has been steadily going up...I'm happy the island is going to benefit from being a state and I don't think our nationalism is going to take a big hit.
I still look at Hawaiians as its own culture and at the same time its a state. It's going to be just like that.
And f the kings...we need a baseball team NOW
