That’s the idea. Btw, I like the base idea. Find a closed military base in some remote flea bitten area, and relocate 40,000 D.C. bureaucrats to work out of that venue. Rent out their former opulent offices in the D.C. kingdom to those who produce or create things.
In DC almost no one produces or creates things. All they do is study stuff and push paper around. If someone wants to produce anything they have to get a DC Basic Business License, I think for any gross profit above $4,000. They also have to certify that they don’t owe the DC government $100 or more. There are a number of parking/traffic tickets that are over $100 and often incorrect and able to be fought. The Office of Tax and Revenue will go back 5 or 6 years and say you owe thousands of dollars that you know was already paid. You better have proof and even then it could take years to resolve the problem. One person I know was charged $20,000 Vacant Property tax for the house they were living in during the entire renovation. It took them years to get off the tax sale list. Don’t ever move to DC if you want to be a small entrepreneur.
