Where states have no INCOME TAX, why should they receive funding from the federal government for any number of programs. The District of Columbia pays MORE in Federal IRS taxes than for its internal annual budget, and also has its own Income Tax. With a population of more than 3 less populous states which have a total of 6 Senators and 3 Representative, DC has 1 NonVoting Representative. They can’t even spend their own Income Tax money without Congressional permission. Where is the fairness in any of that?
Put DC residential areas back into Maryland.
