Parasite City, U.S.A.

[AmericanGirl05]

Ms. Norton, the District’s nonvoting congressional representative, released her prepared testimony Sunday, in which she points out that “there are no financial, economic, constitutional or historical reasons that the 650,000 Americans who live in the District of Columbia should not be granted statehood.”​

Effort likely to fail in GOP-dominated House

D.C. resumes push for statehood - Washington Times​

There is one very good reason Ms. Norton:

Legalities notwithstanding, statehood would give the parasite class full representation in Congress should the Democrat party scam succeed. Everybody who toils in D.C. is a pedigreed parasite. They feed on everybody else. They sow no crops; they sew no garments; they produce nothing of value; they live on tax dollars taken from Americans in the fifty states.

Not true. DC residents are not just bureaucrats, lawyers and lobbyists. And certainly we don't all have pedigrees.

To AmericanGirl05: I realize that not everybody in Parasite City works for the government directly, but everybody who lives and works there lives on tax dollars. Put it in perspective by asking yourself this question: Every time a private sector resident receives a dollar for a product or a service where did that dollar come from?

The fact is this: Parasite City does not create one penny of wealth —— it absorbs the nation’s wealth by taking a healthy cut from redistribution schemes.

In some cases, from another private sector worker. DC is not the monolith you think it is. Yes, the economy as a whole is very dependent upon government, but it's not the only thing here.

Here’s some hot news for Eleanor Holmes Norton. Everybody knows what is going on:

[ame=[MEDIA=youtube]YfXoK68YXFc[/MEDIA] You Don't Have A Right to Know Everything In a Separation of Powers Government - YouTube[/ame]​

They also know why Norton wants statehood for the District of Columbia.

"You don't have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend. That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government," Norton said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing.

It was, to put mildly, a significant departure from the more traditional liberal stance that openness and transparency are must to prevent abuses of power by government officials. Instead the leading advocate for statehood for the District of Columbia literally argued that even the congressional committee charged with oversight shouldn't be asking questions in the first place.

Unlike Puerto Rico where the people can have statehood, or independence, any time they want it, the District of Columbia is prohibited from statehood by the Constitution:

But the District is not a state. It is (as the Constitution says in Article I, Section 8) "the seat of the government of the United States." That is why, in 1978, the District's advocates sent to the states a constitutional amendment requiring that "for purposes of representation" the district would be "treated as though it were a state." Only 16 states ratified it, 22 short of the required number. So the District's advocates decided that an amendment is unnecessary -- a statute will suffice because the Constitution empowers Congress "to exercise exclusive legislation" over the District. They argue that this power can be used to, in effect, amend the Constitution by nullifying Article I, Section 2's requirement that House members come from "the several states." This argument, that Congress's legislative power trumps the Constitution, means that Congress could establish religion, abridge freedom of speech and of the press, and abolish the right of peaceful assembly in the District.

I know that the Constitution cannot standup against a dictator’s executive orders and a compliant High Court, still, it hangs on by the flimsiest of threads. Unconstitutional statehood for Parasite City would test the strength of the Constitution to the limit.

Legalities notwithstanding, statehood would give the parasite class full representation in Congress should the Democrat party scam succeed. Everybody who toils in D.C. is a pedigreed parasite. They feed on everybody else. They sow no crops; they sew no garments; they produce nothing of value; they live on tax dollars taken from Americans in the fifty states.

Making the District of Columbia a city-state would give the parasite class two seats in the Senate:

And, of course, Congress next could give the District two senators. Which probably is the main objective of the Democrats who are most of the supporters of this end run around the Constitution. In the 12 elections since the District acquired, by constitutional amendment, the right to allocate presidential electoral votes, it has never cast less than 74.8 percent of its popular vote for the Democratic presidential candidate. That amendment, the 23rd, stipulates that the District shall allocate the number of electoral votes to which it would be entitled "if it were a state." If.

In a D.C. State Of Mind

George F. Will - Voting Rights and the 'State' of D.C.​

NOTE: In 2009 the statehood scam hit the news again. Do you think it had anything to do with a community organizer parasite moving into the White House a few weeks before George Will’s commentary?

Senators from D.C. would quickly join the other Democrats in pretending they are helping the poor, the children, the elderly, etc. As it stands now the rest of the parasite class have their own key to the public purse; while D.C. parasites must go to Congress with their hats in their hands whenever they want more; no small thing when conservatives are in charge. Pure and simple, statehood will give District of Columbia parasites their own set of keys to the public larder.

And I shudder when I think of the benefits International parasites at the UN will enjoy if the District of Columbia gains two Senate seats. And let’s not forget two reliable parasite votes in confirmation hearings.

Finally, Norton is backed up by a single digit IQ, Elijah Cummings, the Democrat party’s hatchet man in the House. That alone should tell you what they are after:

"I associate myself with your comments," Cummings added, thus making it clear that he doesn't believe the public has right to know what is going on inside the White House either.

i'm not sure why it's a problem that the economy is government-driven. that is not the same as parasitic. it is capitalism. money is spent. goods are purchased. services are used. this idea that there is something wrong with that is bizarre. EVERY capital city in the world is government driven. only in other countries, the people aren't retarded about it.

But the industry that drives the local economy is the government. They have no risk/reward element since they just steal the money from the rest of the country so their employees can spend it on us local merchants. That's why it's one of -- if not the -- fastest growing metropolises in the country. Without that parasitic government, the local businesses would shrink or disappear.

To AmericanGirl05: I disagree. Parasite City is now the seat of a sovereign federal government where bureaucrats exercise absolute control over the states, the Congress, the courts, and even the military. In short: The Constitution be damned.

Yes, the economy as a whole is very dependent upon government,

To AmericanGirl05: So why should any taxpayer in the fifty states want to give Parasite City full representation in Congress?

but it's not the only thing here.

To AmericanGirl05: Example please!

To RoshawnMarkwees: The worst of it is that the Socialist priesthood uses income tax dollars to impose the tax collector's morality on the entire country. Moral coercion is the very essence of religion. Tithing by force is the dream of every priest that ever lived “Support me and do as you are told.”

And just like every priest that ever lived, Socialist/Communist priests believe that telling everyone how to behave requires no further participation in a civil society. Typhoid Nancy was absolutely right when she recently said "Civilization As We Know It Would Be In Jeopardy If Republicans Win The Senate." Her parasite civilization is in danger, but I doubt it will end if Republicans do take the Senate.

Unconstitutional statehood for Parasite City would test the strength of the Constitution to the limit.

they live on tax dollars taken from Americans in the fifty states.

Parasites are still promoting the same misdirection:

". . . contributes more in federal taxes than 22 states . . ."​

I am not sure what Bowser is angling for? Does she want to amend the Constitution? or does she simply want Congress to declare Parasite City a state? Needless to say, D.C. parasites will petition Congress:

. . . Bowser (D) is making a concerted effort for statehood.

She has called for a constitutional convention in June and a vote by city residents in November to petition the next president and Congress to declare the District the 51st U.S. state, even as Republican leaders in the current Congress have said the issue is a nonstarter.​
