[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole situation plus the two other bills being reviewed by Congress illustrates the only reason I support DC statehood.  This city is badly to poorly run in many areas but the way the Congress is allowed to simply over rule decisions of the democratically elected representatives of the people of DC is the definition of taxation without representation. Yes, I know, I could move elsewhere. Blah blah blah. That doesn’t make this situation any more acceptable in the capital of the free world.  And I would say this if the party positions were reversed. And I don’t agree with major portions of the crime bill.

We should get to vote on exercise of the police power where we live without being overruled by people who live somewhere else. [/quote]

The majority of DC residents actually pay no federal taxes.  So there’s that.  [/quote]

Citation, please? How does this square with the fact that DC in aggregate pays more federal taxes than 23 states and more per capita than any other state
