[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing in the constitution that requires you to keep living here. [/quote]

Doesn't make it morally or ethically right based on the founding principles of our country.

I know, I know, you don't care.[/quote]

It wouldn’t be right if people were forced to live in DC. That’s not the case. People choose to live there.[/quote]

So under your logic, it’s ok to violate any manner of individual rights because people can just move. A state could legalize slavery and people who don’t like it could just move.[/quote]

That is exactly their logic.

I promise you that most DC citizens would love to be free of the yoke of federal taxation without representation if they just were not taxed. Property values would skyrocket![/quote]

This thread is about the ethics of people DC residents didn't elect imposing their will on DC residents.

It's not the economy in this case, stoopid. Stay focused.[/quote]

So let Maryland or Virginia annex the roughly 58 square miles not covered by Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. And ask yourself if you’d concern yourself with “ethics” if DC was 90% Republican. Answer: you would not give a sh*t. I promise you. [/quote]

I would be happy to be annexed by either of those states.  At least we would have some semblance of representation at that point.  But since that's never going to happen and is a weird deflection from the real issue, which is some a-hole from far away trying to interfere in DC's local government, I'll have to settle for pushing for statehood.
