Three sides to the story
I often say there are three sides to a story. Everyone has a natural bias when telling their side. You have one view, the opposing view, and you have the truth usually somewhere in the middle. Recently, GQ Magazine released an article two days before the anniversary of Hurricane Maria (which devastated our island) that highlights the tax acts (specifically Acts 20 and 22), and how Puerto Rico became a tax haven for the “Super Rich”. While almost all the facts in the article were accurate (sans what is truly exempt as Puerto Rico sourced income), they were mostly presented in a disappointing way. Moreover, it was unfortunate to see how the facts that did not support Jesse Barron’s (the author) controversial angle were glossed over or omitted entirely from the article.
