How ‘bout this: since D.C. doesn’t have any voting representation in Congress, wouldn’t it be better for Congress to not force the citizens of the District to pay taxes??? O’Reilly was talking about “taxation w/o representation” in his show this evening, but neither he nor anyone else on the show brought up that idea.

Just make the 10-sq miles of DC a tax-free zone! I wonder what that would do for business in the District....hmmmmm....

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.
