The nation's capital, D.C., seems to always be in the news. Either there is a crack smoking mayor, or politicians in trouble or.......well, you fill in the blanks. Anyway, D.C. has a high rate of poverty. Why? I mean it is the capital of the country and visitors see this blemish on the landscape of the richest country in the world. Is that something to be proud of? Next, the area is not represented in Congress. How can that be? you mean the people of the capital have no representation? You got it.
I have a problem with a country that prides itself on its representation, but yet leaves a bulk of thye population without any at all.
