[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just understand that they have no interest in making the city work. It would just be more pet issues to feed to their base and not the people who live here.

- crime is up, guns for all
- metro isn’t making money, cut funding
- DCPS isn’t educating all their students, hello charter schools for every student in the city [b]

They hate cities. They are just something you drive through on the way to work. [/b]

Look, I agree that every elected leader in DC needs to go. But you are dreaming if you think GOP members of Congress are going to care about DC and the people that live here. [/quote]

Bolded is the macroeconomic engine of the US.  [b]Need to force the federal employees back at least 3 days a week. [/b]

Fixes metro funding issues, gets the DC economy running on all cylinders again.

As far as the other issues just common sense.  If kids don’t want to learn on their own build reform schools to give them structure and discipline.

Umm. Federal employees aren’t even working three days a week in the office?

WTAF?

I always thought the MASSIVE influence D.C. people have over the rest of the nation; by sucking off the teets of the tax-payer-insured-bureaucracy (that mainly hurts more than helps 90% of the country) was a fair exchange for being subject to the whims of the President and not having voting representatives in congress.

But on top of that they getting paid the same and not even having to go to the office every day???

This must be an exaggeration because if this were true, in needs to be broadcast far and wide because that’s ridiculous. Project 2025 aint sounding nearly as bad now—as far as the career federal position overhaul.[/quote]

Most of the people who work for the federal government do not actually live in DC.

[b]DC is also a "maker" state not a "taker" state where it come to federal tax dollars paid versus repatriated.[/b] DC residents pay more per capita than any other resident of any other state to the Federal Government and for our taxes, we ge[b]t no representation, no voice nothing, [/b]except being begrimed by the likes of the GOP who want to re-overlord our city.[/quote]

1. So being a “donor” state isn’t just cause you’re paying a higher income tax rate due to having higher incomes being [i]paid by national tax payers[/i]?…

2. No, of course. Even though you can go across town an rub elbows with lawmakers… are employed as lobbyists or in think tanks.. you have [i]no voice[/i] 🙄
