Then move out of DC. Problem solved. They new they wouldn't have representation when they moved there. Most work for the government and the rest are living on government handouts. So, tough shit.The people of DC pay more Federal Taxes than 30 states but are not allowed to vote on how their tax dollars are spent.
During the Revolution, this was called ”Taxation without Representation”
If you are not going to treat them as US Citizens with voting rights, exempt them from federal taxes like Puerto Rico
You are going to post the receipts for this claim, yes?

Indeed.Then move out of DC. Problem solved. They new they wouldn't have representation when they moved there. Most work for the government and the rest are living on government handouts. So, tough shit.
Just combine Wyoming with NebraskaI say, replace Wyoming's Senators' with DC Senators. Wyoming shouldn't even be a State.
When was that?Indeed.
The people of DC are not represented in Congress because they choose to be not represented in Congress.
Liar.Indeed.
The people of DC are not represented in Congress because they choose to be not represented in Congress.
Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota: 6 Senators for about 2 million people.Just combine Wyoming with Nebraska
no MD 295 comes out of DC headed toward Baltimore or at least it did then, that is what I am saying, camera said DC but it came from State of Virginia, god you people are slow
All right, this is my last chime in with this. I grew up and have spent most of my life in the Maryland suburbs of DC and I can definitely say that 295 has never stretched into Virginia. But now you're saying the ticket was from a routing center in Virginia or something, which is fine, but that doesn't mean that Virginia has any kind of control over DC, which was why we all dredged this up in the first place. I mean, you don't think Texas has control over Tennessee just because the tickets came from the camera shop there, right?it was a camera ticket, it came in the mail, get it yet? it was not trooper ticket. TN tickets come out of TX sometimes, who ever owns the equipment mails the ticket. Read this twice before responding as me thinks you may be slow
Or, 6 Senators for 3 independent States, each duly and lawfully admitted by Congress, and with exactly as many State Constitutions as California, Texas, and New York combined. That's how our bicameral representation works.Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota: 6 Senators for about 2 million people.
Yes I understand, thanks though.Or, 6 Senators for 3 independent States, each duly and lawfully admitted by Congress, and with exactly as many State Constitutions as California, Texas, and New York combined. That's how our bicameral representation works.
That's not fair. If dc were guaranteed to produce 2 republican Senators, this discussion wouldn't even exist.Apparently the right no longer believes in democracy.
Never once said I was in VA. Learn to read fucktardAll right, this is my last chime in with this.

I honestly don't care where you were ten years ago when you got a ticket, but if you were on any Route 295 anywhere near the DC area, you were not in Virginia at the time, and it was not a ticket issued by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia has no control over DC.
That's all, peace out, watch your speed, and I wish you the best.
You did! Read your posts next time!It was the MD Hwy 295, no one said anything about an interstate, learn to read fucktard
You NEVER said MD 295 and I even asked what a traffic camera was doing on an interstate. We may be slow, but at least we are not rocks and cannot move at all.no MD 295 comes out of DC headed toward Baltimore or at least it did then, that is what I am saying, camera said DC but it came from State of Virginia, god you people are slow
There are no guarantees in life.That's not fair. If dc were guaranteed to produce 2 republican Senators, this discussion wouldn't even exist.
And when they tell you otherwise, they're lying.That's not fair. If dc were guaranteed to produce 2 republican Senators, this discussion wouldn't even exist.
Can't win on the merits of a debate so what better to do than whine about the motive.And when they tell you otherwise, they're lying.
It would be interesting to see DC try to survive as a state. It has no industry or tax base. Since it’s inception, DC’s expenses have been directly funded by congress. If DC becomes a state, that funding will have to stop and DC will have to support itself, pay for its own schools, police, fire, medical care and government. In months the citizens of the new state will either be moving out, or begging to have statehood rescinded.Washington should not be a state, full stop. If the residents of Washington desire voting rights, they should become residents of the surrounding states and be treated like Americans living abroad who can vote absentee. They would then pay taxes and have the rights of the state they are a resident of. Problem solved.
