significance
this act is very important because puerto rico sells oil to the US and many other countries and since their increasing taxes other countries are going to have to pay more money which is going to somewhat affect them while helping puerto rico economy. this impacts my life by in the long run by the government eventually raising the tax on oil in america to make up for lost money.
