Washington DC should be called 100 square miles of Griftopia surrounded by reality.

Well, actually it’s surrounded by most of the top ten wealthiest counties, by income, in the country. All generated by government spending. Kinda of a bureaucratic Versailles or District One of The Hunger Games.

I’ve long advocated the inverse of voting rights for District of Columbia residents. That is the expansion of the Federal Zone to encompass the bedroom suburbs and pilot fish corporations that feed on tax dollars. Remove their voting rights and ban their participation in political action, be contributions, activity, or demonstration, etc.

Tattoo Servant of the People on their foreheads, force them to give way to Free Citizens when traveling. Kind of inverse feudalism I know but I was just on a Sci-Fi/Fantasy thread and the mind started wandering.

Unfortunately, you're wrong. DC is surrounded by Maryland and northern Virginia, which have both become willing partners in Griftopia.
