[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Answer directly:

Is it an injustice when state representatives not elected by DC residents try to change local DC laws against the will of the US citizens who reside in DC?

Is it morally or ethically appropriate?

Btw I don't care if we agree or disagree on a solution. I only care if you think it is morally or ethically right. Please don't deflect with random "whataboutism" commentary on federal taxes or what Democrats might try to do in other situations, right or wrong. That is not what this is about.

It is not an injustice.  You agreed to accept this arrangement as a condition of your residency in the District of Columbia.

It is morally and ethically appropriate for those representatives to carry out their responsibility to governor residents of the District of Columbia

We moved from the District of Columbia because we did not wish to live under conditions that we could not change.  These conditions created an ineffective governance of people who embrace a carpetbagging mentality of allowing outsiders to govern their daily existence.

There are three ways to change your situation.  Leaving is not one you wish to do.  Obtaining statehood is not one that you can do. Complaining on DCUM is available and you have done that.
