Another Tax Note

I'm sure there is a good answer for this, but...

If DC does not have true representation in the halls of Congress, why in the hell do they get saddled with federal taxes? Isn't "taxation without representation" one of the most basic issues in American history?

Either grant the district representation, or exempt it from federal taxes. Of course, if that were to happen, every business in the country (world) would establish a presence there, more jobs would be created, poverty, and ideally crime would face a downturn...

Yeah, never gonna happen.
