Too corrupt as opposed to say, Illinois? I forget the exact numbers now, but something like 6 of the last 12 governors have gone to jail for corruption, most recently Blagojevich. That's just at the top level; there's problems throughout the state... Not saying PR doesn't have problems, just pointing out actual states do, too.


Sorry, but I fail to see the relevance. Did Illinois declare independence from the US with its current apparently corrupt political class?


If corruption prevented political integration several current US states would not be integrated.
