Smh younggun across the belly. He'll prove you lost already.... -
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?Preach2Teach wrote: »This ? has caught me off guard I thought D.C was one of the states, I have some homework to do!

he didnt pick it....thats what he was given -
Yo I never even agreed to this ? debate topic this ? was just dropped on my head lol I will ride with it tho I ain't gonna back down especially after reading that ? opening statement @mryounggun
So your argument is that Washington DC has nobody to represent the people of DC when it comes to spending tax budgets? since when did the people have any say in how America spends it's tax money? you will get another corrupt ? in a fancy suit talking that ? to make people think they have a voice or some kind of power, it's all for the most part an illusion.
I have just been reading some ? and I think I have my first point that will knock this ? out of the park! and that reason is the FEDS! the federal government! I don't even live in America and I am scared of them ? , they have a reputation for not playing fair and ruining countless lives with their underhanded and unfair ways (that's a whole other topic tho) the reason Washington DC was not granted statehood in the first place was to keep the dictating snakes at bay, the expression "never put all your eggs in one basket" springs to mind, The feds are not to be trusted and handing over more power to these people will not do America any good, these are the people that will promote alcohol all over the T.V for the kids to see, then they raid a weed dispensary in California even tho the STATE LAW says they are breaking no laws, Washington DC is the strongest defense America has against a potential corrupt dictatorship happening in America so why mess with that? now more than ever America needs it's defenses!! that is all for now,I just wrote this ? without having much knowledge of the whole topic @mryounggun imagine what I will do to you if I actually researched this ? ?
