Scared of the tax?
Saturday, November 18, 2006 @ 10:34 pm by -DS-So, a lot of people talked a lot of shit these past weeks about the brand new sales tax that started this past Wednesday (On my birthday!!), some people said that the commerce would be affected and that after Wednesday the malls were going to be deserted…
Well, this morning I needed to go to Compusa to get something and to my surprise (**rolleyes**) the parking lot was packed full, at 9:30AM…, dont people have anything better to do than shooping?…, oh yeah, I forgot, this is Puerto Rico and there is a shopping Mall every two miles, and I am not exaggerating.

Eso no es na’. Plaza Las Americas estaba como una fucking lata de sardinas, no podias caminar… Hasta en la parte de tractores y mierdas en Sears tuve que esperar casi 15 minutos en lo que los dos chamaquitos terminaban de atender a las 2384 personas que estaban alli antes que yo (y yo solamente buscaba la navaja para el tractor).

If they add a 20% tax on cigarrettes and beer they will pay it anyway. And this black friday pandemonium will prevail on the malls!

I like Santini’s adds while the workers paint the streets and bridges…
“This is your 1c sales tax at work….Honorable Santini, San Juan Ciudad Capital”

Mucha personas con problemas economicos en este pais pero sacan el dinero de algun sitio para llenar tiendas, los malls e ir a un concierto de Shakira en Puerto Rico.
