This is why Elon Musk will not move to Puerto Rico after all.

 


Puerto Rico is a unincorporated territory of the United States. It is a Caribbean island with tropical weather, beautiful beaches, nasty mosquitoes, and a local population of about 3.5 million Hispanic Americans.

Puerto Rico offers an incredible tax advantage to wealthy Americans who relocate to the island. If you meet the requirements such as not having been a resident of the island in the last 15 years and residing on the island at least 183 days a year, you can avoid all federal income taxes and capital gains taxes. You would pay a maximum of 4% in Puerto Rican income taxes.  

Elon Musk would save billions by moving to Puerto Rico.  However, Elon Musk is a Trump wannabe. If Elon relocates to Puerto Rico, he would not be able to run for President of the United States.  Puerto Ricans are Americans, but territorial residents cannot vote for the President.  An American residing in Puerto Rico cannot run for President.  

Oh well, Elon will have to choose between avoiding taxes or running for President. Or will he? Many say that Elon Musk does not pay anything in income taxes anyways.  What do you know?  What do you think about this?

Christian Abortions

Christian women should vote for Democrats to protect the sacred right to medically sound and compassionately humane abortions in the United States. Guaranteeing access to proper abortions under adequate medical care is not only a human right, but also a Christian obligation. Christian entrepreneurs should also tap into the untouched business opportunity of promoting Christian abortions.  Slap is food for thought. Take more at  TakeSlap.com   Christian faith stands for the belief in a heavenly father who loves his children on Earth. When that heavenly father sends one of his daughters a gift of life, daughters should feel loved and empowered to safely, kindly, and humanely return the gift to the father if desired. The heavenly father is not a monster or or sadistic deity.  The heavenly father will understand and appreciate the safe return of the unborn soul to heaven. The heavenly father will not want his daughter to suffer and will not want the soul to be in the wron...

Elon Musk is a Trump wannabe

                                                            [This post was updated on April 25, 2022.] Is Musk a Trump wannabe?  You bet.  Unfortunately, he was born in South African and is not a natural born American.  Therefore, he cannot run for President of the United States. Money is addictive. Power is even more addictive than money. Money is addictive because your primate brain gets big dopamine payloads imagining the pleasures that money can buy for you. Power is more addictive than money because your brain gets an even higher dopamine payload imagining all the pleasures (including money) that power can get for you.   That is the case for everyone, including you. However, the attraction to money and power is even stronger in the brains of billionaires for two reasons: (i) they ...

Democracy is better than war

Politics is the best sport on Earth. Democracy is not perfect; it's simply a substitute for war. For democracy to work, the loser of the contest must accept defeat. All sitting presidents of the United States who have lost elections while in power have accepted defeat except one, Trump. Mounting evidence against Trump coming from the January 6th Hearings seems to indicate that Trump planned a violent coup to stay in power even after knowing that he had lost the elections. If that is the case, Trump should be indicted and prosecuted to preserve the rule of law and secure the future of democracy. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Democracy vs war In the old days, political power was gained by waging war. Opposing groups would go to battle. Whoever won the war would get the political power. All major civilizations developed their status by becoming experts at war.  Whoever had the best armies and weapons would typically win. That is still the case to this date, and t...
