Reagan would hate him for it.
Not all property in DC is government owned. It’s just subject to DC jurisdiction, just as VA property is subject to VA jurisdiction. Federal property cannot be taxed in any state.
Actually now that I think of it that is yet another reason justifying my proposal. You are correct that if the federal government owns a lot of property then the state will have trouble raising taxes. So expand the size of the state to give it some additional land that can be taxed.
No offense, but you're sounding like a real Dem! LOL.
The Dems are eventually going to make DC a state on their terms if we don’t act. The way I’m suggesting it should be done, the Dems would pick up two new Senators and the GOP would likely pick up 4 new Senators. Turn the Dems’ own knife against the Dems.
It’s not a state but it would still get 3 EV’s.
With a constitutional amendment that could be revised.
I suppose with my proposal they would get more EVs. But then the GOP would win VA and MD so we’d gain a few.
