Some of us think "DC claim of taxation without representation" is entirely accurate. They tax the crud out of us and don't represent us at all. Truth in advertising.
I’d prefer just not to pay taxes. “Representation” be damned.

"Taxation without representation" oh no! Who forced these poor folks to live in the territory that's home to the Federal Capitol, and not a few miles away in either Virginia or Maryland.

Pushing for no taxes in DC would be the first real step towards statehood. There's a logical argument for it, and a loss of revenue would get attention. This would (potentially) get statehood on the path to happen the right way (via the constitution).
BUT, the truth is that DC doesn't really want statehood. DC politicians have made careers out of fighting this "oppression" and it gets them reelected. They know full well that even if they get a bill through, it would never survive the courts.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favor of DC becoming a state, but they're playing a shell game that they won't admit to.
And this place would look like the worst most distressed rust belt city in the the US if we were not living off of the taxes of Americans across the country.Some of us think "DC claim of taxation without representation" is entirely accurate.
