Logan Paul sparks backlash after claiming he\u2019s moving to Puerto Rico over \u201ctaxes\u201d YouTube: imPaulsiveYouTube star and boxer Logan Paul has incited a wave of backlash after announcing his unexpected move to Puerto Rico in February \u2014 although it\u2019s his reasons why that have critics speaking out against him. Logan Paul, like many other influencers, has made his home in the City of Angels for quite some time after kick-starting his full-time YouTube career. Having moved into an impressive home in Encino, California, and created a successful podcast with his buddies, it seems that Paul has grown weary of the hustle and bustle of LA lifestyle, as he announced that he\u2019s moving from SoCal to Puerto Rico in a February 16 \u2018imPaulsive\u2019 episode. While he claimed he\u2019d been \u201cfiending for a change\u201d in his life for quite a while, Paul also admitted that taxes were a large part of his decision to leave the mainland, noting that he\u2019d have to pay far less by living in the island territory. This particular comment has resulted in a wave of backlash against the YouTuber, with some Puerto Rican viewers taking to social media to decry his move for this specific reason. One TikToker by the name of \u201cbiancagraulau\u201d noted that tax breaks given to Paul are not usually available to native Puerto Ricans. She also noted citizens fear that wealthy transplants may \u201cbuy up\u201d property when locals are leaving the island because they can\u2019t afford to live there. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1366862661367914496 Many other commenters have chimed in with similar sentiments, decrying Paul for taking advantage of tax breaks while local islanders struggle. \u201cCome into a place like you doing them brown people a favor and buy up property to make your own exclusive community that PAYS NOTHING TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY,\u201d one user tweeted. @LoganPaul moving to Puerto Rico to duck taxes and ‘enrich’ the island is peak white people moves. Come into a place like you doing them brown people a favor and buy up property to make your own exclusive community that PAYS NOTHING TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY. \u2014 Francis Ford Wokela (@ChicFilAtheist) March 1, 2021 \u201cYay, more rich gringos moving to my island with millions of dollars while my people barely have any money to f***ing buy food,\u201d another wrote. \u201c\u2019Puerto Rico is in this perfect gray area,\u2019 STFU! It\u2019s perfect for the rich dips***s like Logan f***ing Paul, but it\u2019s definitely not for people.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/DiceySpikes\/status\/1365830768807866381?s=20 Paul has yet to respond to the criticism lobbied against him in wake of his latest announcement, and it seems like his move has yet to be finalized, as he is still uploading \u2018imPaulsive\u2019 episodes from his Encino home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
