Operation Bootstrap is mostly about this economic program that had a major impact on the Puerto Rican economy. Puerto Rico was promised a better economy as the outcome of Operation Bootstrap. "Operation Bootstrap was an attempt to improve the Puerto Rican economy… It encouraged United States businesses’ to build factories in Puerto Rico. These businesses would not have to pay taxes to the Puerto Rican government for 15-17 years. They did not have to pay United States taxes either..." (34) This makes Operation Bootstrap seem like a good idea.
