I have a confession to make, ladies and gentlemen: I’ve been forced to abandon my strategy before the debate even started. I had a bulletproof plan to win this debate using the ‘8-Mile’ approach: preemptively present and tear apart my opponents arguments against me before he can even make them. Then I discovered something starting…

…there actually are NO logical, fair arguments for not making Washington DC a state.

Imagine my disappointment.

So let’s just start with the most obvious, bulletproof argument for making DC a state. It’s an old argument, one that has existed for since before this great nation was founded. In fact, it’s a large part of WHY this country was founded. I’ll give you the short version:

While still only colonies under British rule, residents of the 13 colonies were subjected to taxes for EVERYTHING. Spices, tea, paper, everything. Now there is nothing inherently wrong with being taxed. But when you are taxed, you should receive some sort of compensation for that taxation. Traditionally, that compensation comes in the form of voting rights. If you pay money to the federal government, you should have some say on how that money is used. The British denied the colonists these voting rights. And so the slogan for the American Revolution was born:

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

I say all that to say this: The residents of Washington DC are required - like every other citizen of the country - to pay federal taxes, but have no representation in Congress or the Senate. That means there is no one representing their interests when it comes time to approve the federal budget, ratify federal laws, etc. They are being subjected to taxation and being given no representation, in return. There are very few things that I can think of that are more unamerican than that.

Now my opponent, being the foreign con artist that he is - will certainly try to convince you otherwise using some fallacious, straw-man argument. But before he even bombards you with that diarrhea of the mouth that he calls an argument, consider this:

Do you really wanna hear ANY argument about D.C.'s statehood - for or against - made by a man who until 20 minutes ago didn't even know that D.C. wasn't a state?
