[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m super liberal but if offered a tax haven status I’d give up Home Rule in a second. Would hope clean streets and corruptless government would be part of the package. [/quote] Taxation without representation. This is what the original Boston Tea Party was all about. Pick one. Either give us representation or waive federal taxes for us. [/quote] Sorta? I mean there was no taxation because the labor was free. So, representation for free labor? Really, the federal district ideally should have only a handful of residents, and be reduced in area to encompass the buildings around that National Mall. The rest should return to MD.[/quote]
