Fun fact! Washington DC license plates bear the phrase "Taxation without representation". The plates don't condemn it, they just openly state it. I was floored the first time I was in DC and saw that. I thought I was misreading it at first.
That's cute and all but it's like saying our senators don't have representation because they ARE the senator for their district. I think BEING IN WASHINGTON DC is representation enough. The entire system is representing the (short term) interests of DC.

I think it's because the District of Columbia has no vote in Congress.
No representation.
