‘No taxation without representation’

We stumbled upon this mural in a Capitol Hill alley. This phrase appears on our license plates and is the rallying cry for DC statehood – we pay taxes like the rest of the country, but because the District of Columbia isn’t a state (but rather a Federal district), we have no congressmen or senators to represent us in Congress.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

DC should be a state along with Puerto Rico.

I always though that was really unfair. A change is needed. V

I doubt your GOP would ever be in agreement with that!

A debate that will never be settled excellent capture Helen it should hang in the chamber of the capital.
Very nice apple composition and detail.

Yep and I'm pretty sure you won't be getting any Republican support for it any time soon.
