DC is a federal city--that is the whole point of its existence. It belongs to all of the United States. If you don't like it, move to a state. There are several to chose from within easy commuting distance. DC is a unique city.
DC is unique alright, it has a crime rate that compares to Bogota
The only major city in the country that elected a crack addict....after he had been caught doing crack, to be their Mayor
Every other federal city in the world has legislative representation typical of that country's other jurisdictions. Plus, none of the founding fathers lived long enough to see D.C. become busy, much less populous, and the circumstances of our existence have changed many times for many reasons over the years. Hardly seems like a Bill of Rights issue to me.
But the real issue is, if you own my city, come fix my pothole. Better yet, lobby your congressman to have the fed pay for local police detail when anti-money rioters come to town so we can fix the pothole ourselves.
As for the point about Crackhead Barry and Dem mismanagement, I'm certainly not going to say Barry wasn't a crackhead or a boss or an exploiter. So when do the taxpayers get to annex East St. Louis, the French Quarter and West Baltimore? What do you do with Maryland if Mfume wins that Senate race next year?
