Americans in Puerto Rico can't vote for US president. Their anger at Trump is shaping the race
  • We're also not talking about taxes just for residency. The federal government doesn't collect property taxes. I'm just trying to say there is some effort to not burden them unduly with taxes.

People have to pay sales tax in states they can't vote in either
