Just make the 10-sq miles of DC a tax-free zone!

Not to be picky, but it's 100 sq. miles. The Constitution stipulated that the district would not exceed 10 miles square (10 x 10 x 10 x 10). But you're right, if it were tax free, there would be many more jobs.

George Will and later Jonah Goldberg had an interesting read about expanding Congress to the thousands Congress Just Isn't Big Enough.
