[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fine with Congress giving DC less if Congress also is fine with DC residents not having to pay federal income tax, just like in the territories. Starting this year, with all residents who already filed getting refunds if they owed taxes.

Deal?[/quote]

Again, you continue to live in this situation. That makes you unhappy.  You are free to move to a state.  It’s really hard to be sympathetic to a person that chooses to live in a place where they are being treated unfairly.[/quote]

PP, you are basically saying that there is no point in being upset about anything that is not a completely new problem. We are in a situation where the people who live in DC, many of whom live in poverty and can not afford to “just move” are having less aid provided to them. You seem to think that is perfectly fine and shouldn’t be called out as wrong because it’s happened before that DC got screwed in a big appropriation.

Be sympathetic to the DC resident medical staff who will care for people during this crisis while receiving less financial support than medical staff caring for sick people in MD and VA. These are PEOPLE. Where is your humanity?[/quote]
