    Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory for 115 years, yet Puerto Ricans remain second-class citizens. If it becomes a state, Puerto Ricans will no longer be exempt from Federal income tax and even more people will be forced on to the public’s benefits paid by the government. There are some positive truths to look at also, as journalist Catherine Lozada points out: “Puerto Rico costs the U.S. over $22 billion a year. However, as a state it will contribute nearly $2 billion to the U.S. treasury each year.” There will always be that one question which longs to be answered, and that is: What’s keeping Puerto Rico in Political limbo?…

    Kuwait is a city that may not seem to have much to offer to the normal US citizen. Having traveled to many cities and different countries in my life, I know that personally Kuwait is a city that I never had the desire to ever want to visit. Kuwait is a city that has a small percentage of Arabic land and permanent crops, therefore agriculture is virtually nonexistent. But, it 's not what 's above ground that makes this small country a intricate part in the world 's economic community. Kuwait is located upon a large natural gas reserve, as well as one of the top ten largest oil reserves in the world. Kuwait makes use of their fossil fuels to make up for what they are lacking nearby.…
