About me - Jose A. Colon Rivera

About me

English is my second language, so joining a writers site is an adventure to me.

I've always being an opinionated individual so for now, politics are my passion.

I was born in Puerto Rico 48 years ago. When I turned fourteen, I decided to change my life. I was a nerd, so martial arts became part of my life. Two years later I got involved in search and rescue and volunteer work. My resume sounds pretty much incredible, so I'm glad my wife keeps my scrapbook.

After graduating from the University of Puerto Rico with a background in computers I went back to search and rescue.

Soon enough, my life turned to politics, even though I hated them with passion.

Several years later, I joined the ARMY. Uncle Sam took me all over the world. Three combat tours later, I am more patriotic than ever, and believe that the United States is the greatest successful social experiment ever conducted.

This being said, it only makes sense to review our candidates for President's ideas as to how they would deal with the Nation's taxes, if elected to the highest post in the Nation. We will start with the Senator of New York, followed by the Senator of Illinois, and last, by...
