@Notsofast: So all of those jurisdictions across the country are guilty of taxation without representation?

It's worth noting - again - that it isn't DC that wants special treatment here, just the right to enact the same tax system as all other jurisdictions. It's Maryland and Virginia that are demanding (and receiving) special treatment - they don't feel like their state budgets should be subject to the same pinch as those of NY/NJ, Kansas/Missouri, etc.

Is there a principled reason for this position, or is it nothing more than "we don't want to pay?"
