[quote=Anonymous]I hear you PPs. But here's the rub. Whether you want to acknowledge it or now, in DC, where we live, PS3 & PK have become the norm. I own a home here (thus paying property taxes) and I work here (thus paying employment taxes) and I reasonably want to see benefits and services for the taxes that I pay. And preferably some benefits and services that benefit me (street lights, police force, functional 911, garbage pick-up, etc.) So, it's reasonable to "expect" to have access to PS and PK. Comparing DC to other jurisdictions doesn't really mean anything, because my reality is that I live here (and have for 20+ years). I've paid into the system for a long time and now I need the services and I expect them. So, sure, you can argue that you shouldn't have counted on PS & PK, but my question is why shouldn't I?
