House approves bill to let Puerto Ricans vote to become 51st state

[Ghostwriter]

My bet is that it will be voted down again because the Puerto Ricans are smart enough to know that they don't want to start paying income taxes to the Federal Govt. This comes up every 8-10 years and it is always the same with 52-53% voting against statehood. What would we bring to the table for the people of PR that would be value added?
