[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the commuter tax idea.[/quote]
Not possible without statehood.[/quote]

To me this is strangling the golden goose. DC would be nothing without the federal govt. and the business it brings. We should work towards tri-state agreeements (like everyone chipping in to metro) to increase flow between DC, MD. and VA. Would you like to be taxed when you drive out of DC to your Amazon job in Arlington or to visit the big box stores? Bad idea.[/quote]

Commuter tax is an income tax. If you work in DC you would pay DC income taxes and then could deduct them from your Md or Va income taxes. Va and Md are okay with DC statehood nowcause many DC residents work outside the district. They would just retaliate to make up for lost revenue. [/quote]

D.C., MD, and VA already have a tax reciprocity. You don't have to pay taxes to the different states if you live in one and work in one of the other jurisdictions. You just pay to your state.[/quote]
