This is a very old hobby horse of mine, familiar to many. But since we’re discussing D.C. statehood once again, I figure I should put my marker down. D.C. statehood is a bad idea for reasons familiar to lots of people. But it is true that taxation without representation runs against the American creed. What baffles me is how so many smart people think the way to remedy this injustice is to get more votes in Congress, when what we need to do is abolish the income tax for D.C. residents (like me!).
