DC pays federal taxes yet has no (real) representation in Congress
A lot of people are suggesting DC become a state which as a DC resident I find retarded
Ideally DC should either be made exempt from federal taxes or be given representation
What are some of /pol/'s ideas on the situation

DC is the richest city in the country, they get to know and meet literally everyone else's representatives who live part time in the city. If there are problems in the city that require federal attention they get solved quicker than anywhere else in the country.
You people get a ridiculous amount of tax dollars to finance your local economy, far more than anything DC puts out into the economy at large.
