Rich Webb said:Is this that "taxation without representation" thing? Interesting idea.
So, how about DC residents: admit DC as a separate state, with two
Senators and two Representatives, or just establish congressional
districts for DC within Maryland's apportionment?

I'd love to, but the taxman took away my car. )-;I'll be at my local Tea Party today, how about you!
Move the US Capital to the former site of Ft. Greely, AK. Its cold
enough to handle all the political hot air without even noticing. Then
they could see Russia from the Capital Dome! Of course they would have
to allow residents to own guns, or the buffalo and wild animals would
eat all the fat cats.

[1] Buffalo live in Africa and Asia, not the Americas (zoos and exotic
pets notwithstanding).
Tell that to the cleanup crews that had to follow the twice a year
migration through the base to shovel up their crap. They made the roads
unusable, till it was hauled away.
Google says they exist:
Results 1 - 10 of about 19,000,000 for american buffalo.

Bison[1] are herbivores. They might trample, gore, or otherwise attack fat
cats, but they won't eat them.

Of which, the first two hits are for a play/film named "American Buffalo",

American Bison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Bison (Bison bison) is a North American species of bison,
also commonly known as the American buffalo. "Buffalo" is somewhat of a
misnomer for this animal, as it is only distantly related to either of
the two "true buffaloes", the Asian buffalo (or "water buffalo") and the
African buffalo

I went to the columbus tea party. The crowd was good sized, maybe
4K-5K. the signs were great. Unfortunately ,other than a pharmacist
from Marysville the speakers were absolutelty lame. They completely
missed the point. I left when they put the Delaware county recorder
on to speak and he spoke about how important his [gov't] job is.
They had another guy plugging the fair tax, but he never mentioned
anything about how spending needs to be cut, just how redoing the tax
system will fix everything (yeah - right). I yelled out that
government spending must be reduced. He never actually mentioned that
as he presented his fair tax plan.
The speakers were lame ass politicians who did not grasp the event at
all. I walked away thinking that if that is the best our side can put
up then we have lost.
If I were a Democrat, I would have been laughing at the lameness of
the oposition.
I attended the one in Santa Ana, California today. The speakers there
were much more on point there. They did speak about the destructive
effects of the bailouts and the need to stimulate the economy by cutting
taxes and spending instead of printing more money. There were several
booths there. One was for Ron Paul. Another was for the recall of Arnold
Schwarzenegger. A memorable sign was a take off on Obama's "Real Change"
campaign. It read "Real Chains."

Naturally, only right-wing extremists could possibly be opposed to
the greatest wastes of taxpayer money in the history of taxation,
borrowed, and passed to future generations, to fund failure.
MooseFET said:That the whole tea part thing was astroturf says nothing about how
people feel about the taxes etc. The public is rightly outraged about
the amount of money wasted by the Bush admin. The unfair taxes
everyone is paying this April 15th are the ones for the last year of
the Bush era.
The first tea party was as much a protest against a monopoly as a
protest about unfair taxation.
I can't defend Bush's outrageous spending. You've seen me here,
complaining about it. His only saving grace was that his critics
wanted to spend even more.
But the focus of the TEA parties was mostly the current bailouts of
banks, AIG, and the car companies. These constitute the greatest single
tax in the history of the earth--roughly $2T in a single year--and
we are the ones who will have to repay it.
When Mr. Obama says he's cut taxes, it isn't true. He's presided over
the greatest increase of all time, and he intends to borrow it.
