Only way DC can become a state will be to have equal representation 1 Republican and 1 Democrat Senator and equal split congress. Not going to give Democrats 2 permanent Senators ever to become a state.

That's wholly unconstitutional and quite frankly it's sad you'd put silly partisanship as more important then equal representation.

You have a tough time with humor.

It's sad the reason why D.C. isn't a state is lost on so many. People are more obsessed with their magical take on "fairness" than race.

Pitiful

I don't see any indication this was meant to be a humorous comment.

Leave DC.

But in all seriousness, i'd also be satisfied if DC residents were exempt from Federal taxes.

They don't need to become a state. DC can become just another county in MD with areas like the Mall, The White House and other Federal building treated no differently than military bases.
