Bullshit above.
Apparently the resident right wingers forgot about that little thing about "TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION"
Remember that little Boston Tea Party thing? The ORIGINAL, the one that happened before you clueless "Tea Party" twits came along?
Obviously you've forgotten your history.
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION was the war cry behind the Boston Tea Party.
Tell you what - either you give us representation, or we don't have to pay federal taxes. Take your pick. Either taxation AND representation, or neither. Can't have it both ways without making yourself an IGNORANT FUCKING TEA PARTY HYPOCRITE.
Get it now?

Anyone who was raised with any sense of American history would understand and respect the reason dc doesn't have "state" status.
Yeah, that obviously worked really well.

I was just about to post this! Bless you!
As a DC native I am DISGUSTED that DC residents continue to be disenfranchised - by the figureheads of a democracy, no less. It's awful. It has to change.
