the district of columbia pays more than 20 billion dollars a year in taxes, thats more than five states. not only should they have an at large seat in the house of representatives, but they should also have two seats in the senate!

This is not as clear-cut as you suggest. The Constitution gives Congress broad powers over its own membership. Article I, Section 5 begins: "Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members...". In other words, as it pertains to Congress' membership, Congress is the sole judge. If Congress passes a law adding a representative for the District, there is a solid legal foundation for its action.

We pay federal taxes, get you facts straight.  The last time I checked the federal governemnt was at the national level not local.

Was that addressed at me? What is your point? I never said federal taxes were not at the national level.

Your 'taxation without representation' is a "local" problem because it only affects your area, do you understand?

And again all of this would be solved if D.C. would simply rejoin Maryland. D.C. never should have been 'separated' in the first place.

Then we shouldn't be required to pay federal taxes. Simple as that. We're US citizens and treated as less than that.

It was retarded to declare D.C. separate from Maryland in the first place. D.C. should rejoin Maryland, then you would have a voice the same as everybody else.

No! If you want a congressional vote, move into a state. The word cunt is reserved for women like this and this cunt is so thirsty for power that she watering at the mouth.

With all of the cancer and sickness in the world why can we not be rid of Norton to one of them?
