Well if USA were to make California independent, they wouldn't need to change the American flag if Puerto Rico were to become a state.

Just what we need, another bankrupt state. I've written about states like California losing their statehood when they prove incapable of exercising the rights of a sovereign state responsibly. Of course, if they become an independent nation I'm sure we'll end up spending just as much on foreign aid to bail them out (again)

Well at least they'd have to pay taxes, then. They've had all the benefits of statehood (other than voting) and none of the responsibilities for all this time. (They don't pay taxes.)

Puerto Rico is a beautiful spot, a land mass rising from the waters, and full of garden attractions in addition to Renan dwellings. The big problem of statehood for the island are two: a big date owed by the government and the overwhelming Democratic Party voting bloc of the populace.
