A Puerto Rican TikTok user has voiced their opinion as to why people are upset with Logan Paul's decision to move to Puerto Rico.

Aside from the backhanded insult towards the country, where he branded it "more third world," the real reason people are upset is due to the fact that an already well-to-do entrepreneur like Logan Paul, will be getting tax exemptions that Puerto Rican natives themselves do not enjoy.

The TikTok user also states that while Logan Paul and others enjoy tax cuts, Puerto Rico is more than $70 billion in debt, and the people who bear the brunt of it are teachers and civil servants.

While the TikTok user does make valid points, Logan Paul is not doing anything illegal or immoral per se. Users argue that the YouTuber has identified a system that fits his needs better. He is merely moving his base of his operations to benefit himself in a completely legal manner, and he cannot be blamed for playing the system. Logan Paul has yet to comment on the concerns of the common man.
