[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m super liberal but if offered a tax haven status I’d give up Home Rule in a second. Would hope clean streets and corruptless government would be part of the package. [/quote] Taxation without representation. This is what the original Boston Tea Party was all about. Pick one. Either give us representation or waive federal taxes for us. [/quote] I’d accept this as an alternative. No taxation for those of us without representation. (The territories can come too.)[/quote] Then the Congress will just send the residential parts of DC back to Maryland. Then you’ll have representation. Problem solved. Or is it not really about representation? I will happily accept two additional democratic senators, which is what this is really about. It’s politics, you need to reframe it in a way the GOP would accept. [/quote]
