Psycho Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 JUST SAY NO TO A DC VOTE IN CONGRESS AND YES TO FEDERAL TAX EXEMPT STATUS A careful analysis of the issue of any benefits DC would receive if our congressional member would have a vote vs. if DC residents would be exempt from federal taxes like Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands and etcetera as there is no comparison. A Congressional vote would have little or no impact on DC. Many studies have shown that a tax exempt status would benefit DC by: A major influx of new residents (300,000 in the next decade) who want the benefits of no federal taxation; A major housing boom to meet the needs of new residents; A major increase in DC tax revenues; A major increase in businesses wanting to locate in DC to tap into our new labor pool; A major increase in money in each Washingtonians’ pocket that would be spent and bolster the DC economy; and More A federal tax exempt status would bring into the DC Government coiffures close to 40 times the revenue that any proposed commuter or other taxes that had been proposed! Those promoting a congressional vote are dummies who do not understand that a congressional vote would have no benefits for each DC resident, and it is time we stop supporting a congressional vote and those behind it.
