Duly noted. I take it most Puerto Ricans are not required to pay income tax. Didn't gather that from wikipedia, but so it appears.
As far as I can tell, income tax is not all taxation a citizen faces though. (Eg. Custom taxes, commodity taxes, Social security taxes.) - I mean, I am really bad in US tax code, I have to admit as much. But imho these also qualify as being "taxation".
And sure I used the taxation without representation phrase, I guess it somehow still applies, and even if most Puerto Ricans do not pay federal income tax I still think that's no valid reason to deny them a citizen's most basic rights, the right to vote; and the right to be represented in House and Senate.
