Thread Name: BS: Taxation without representation
Subject: RE: BS: Taxation without representation
Now back to taxation without representation...
That has been the District of Columbia for the last 200 or so years...
(But, Boberdz... Congress has just passed legislation that will give The District of Columbia voting rights in the House...)
Well, so Congress has, along with giving Utah another House seat... Problem is that Utah gets their seat with no strings attached but D.C. gets an ammendment that forbides them from passing any kind of gun control legislation???
Like what the hell is that all about??? I mean, Congress should have put an ammendment on Utah's extra seat in the House as well... Like, ahhhhh, making it illegal for Utahians to have carnal knowledge of farm animals... lol... I heard that them Utah farmers can get real lonely...
Nevermind...
B~
p.s. BTW, if D.C. can have it's representative vote in the house then how about throwing in a couple Senators, too???
