[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any other DC liberals out there who would rather just not pay federal taxes? No? Just me?[/quote] That would never happen. We pay more federal taxes in the aggregate than 22 other states and the highest rate in the nation per capita. Parasitic red states like West Virginia would never agree to give up those tax receipts.[/quote] That’s because DC is wealthy. DC pays the same tax rates as everyone else. This argument has never made sense to me. [/quote] It doesn't make sense that the people who contribute more than nearly half the states should have zero say as to how those dollars are spent? But you're happy to keep taking our money, right? [/quote] Your argument implies if DC was poor and contributed less than other states that it would not be worthy of statehood. Dollars to the Treasury should not be the basis for statehood. [/quote]
