[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This proposal and even the idea of no federal income tax was floated 30 years ago by Jack Kemp / Libertarian Republicans, but shot down by many local activists as they feared it would create a "Monaco on the Potomac" of rich people 'living' (in name only) in DC and pricing everyone out of the housing market. [/quote] That seems like a fair worry. I do think city residents get a LOT of benefits from our relationship with the Feds. We have an equilibrium.[/quote] ....like what? I pay taxes, have no representation in Congress, and the executive branch can come assault me and other citizens for no reason, with no warning, in public. And whatever security I mistakenly thought existed to protect federal institutions apparently doesn't. [/quote]
