Long Islanders have to pay taxes to financially support all those bastard children in the rest of NY. state and pay for all the things governor Cuomo wastes money on.
If Washington D.C. can leave Maryland and become it's own state, why can't the Island do that too?

The district of Columbia was created because there are some reasons why it is a good thing if the Capitol is not part of a state.
There was a swamp between Maryland and Virginia that was drained and they built the capitol there.
