From the original text of the Constitution (Article I, Section 2): "Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union..." I'm readin' that as no representation, then no taxes. I guess the Constitution doesn't really mean squat if you live in DC. so,…

Every state, has counties and cities that run their governments shoddily, but they are still afforded full representation in Congress....

I hate that Constitution argument. Amendments 13, 15, 19, and 21 are among some of this country's great highlights. I don't care what they call DC as long as it gets representation. Though I imagine there might be dollar issues tied to statehood at some point. And I *love* that poster. Combines my hate for disenfranchisement with my love of musical theater. In some sort of crazy logarithmic way. Thank you saf! I hate that Constitution argument. Amendments 13, 15, 19, and 21 are among some of this country’s great highlights.
