Unjust=/= "I don't like it." If you don't belong in the US it is OP's job to keep you out. If you don't like our laws, either stay out (if not a citizen) or work to change them (if a citizen.)

How are things on Culebra?

Income's not (directly) the problem: Germany had that. It's more that you'd have to share with millions whose culture hasn't prepared them to help generate that income, and whose need is much worse than yours. Would anything be left for the rich (Puerto Rico) or would it all go to improving the lot of the poor (Haiti, Jamaica, even Cuba)?

If you don't mind having all your money go to essentially charity, why not start by donating it now?

I bet you change your mind when you see how poor those countries are. Jamaica has almost your population and 1/6 your per capita GDP. The former West Germany is still paying to bring the former East up to modernity, and that was a temporary separation.

Not OP, but it may be a good deal for the charities. 40% of proceeds going to fundraising is high but not the worst for a charity, especially if that fundraising then has potential to attract more donors.
