CANCELING DC TAXES + TURNING WASHINGTON DC INTO A GLOBAL TAX-FREE INVESTMENT AND INNOVATION HUB TO FULLY FUND OUR CITY

Washington, D.C. stands at a historic crossroads. For generations, residents have borne the burden of an unjust system—paying into a system where they have no say. Khan’s campaign permanently ends taxation without representation by completely eliminating local tax burdens altogether, while simultaneously funding massive, transformational upgrades to D.C.’s business ecosystem AND public welfare programs. For too long, political discourse has told us we must choose between two extremes: cutting vital public services to keep taxes low, or raising taxes to the breaking point to fund social programs.

Khan’s campaign breaks that false dichotomy. Magic? Nope, math!

Nadeem Adam Khan is an engineer, not a career politician. Applying a systems-thinking approach to D.C.’s unique constitutional position, his blueprint ends D.C. taxation without representation. Khan’s platform completely abolishes local tax burdens, transforming D.C. into the world's most attractive, premier tax-free Global Investment and Innovation Hub.

Through Khan’s DC Global Headquarters Membership Program, companies, nonprofits, universities, research institutes, and international organizations that choose to establish headquarters in DC will pay membership fees to fund Khan’s Dream City agenda. This creates a massive, historic win-win, appealing directly to Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and business owners alike. The federal government wins too. By backing Khan's plan, the federal government keeps its tax structure in place while raking in tens of billions annually from unprecedented job creation and economic growth, thanks to a (local) tax-free DC . Khan will work with congressional allies to ensure that the tax revenue windfall a DC tax-free District helps generate for the federal government is redirected back to DC to help fund his platform. This pan-political approach flips the traditionally antagonistic relationship between the District and Congress completely on its head—giving the federal government massive skin in the game to ensure Khan’s plan—and D.C.—succeeds.

Khan’s bold economic transformation will attract unprecedented domestic and international investment, generating the revenue needed to support a world-class social contract—including 200,000 newly built affordable homes with rents capped at $900 for 1-bedroom homes ($1500 for 3-bedroom units), 100, 000+ new jobs paying $50+/hour, 36 weeks of paid parental leave, universal no-cost childcare, free 24/7 transit (buses AND Metro), and nonprofit grocery stores—without requiring a single penny in local taxes from DC residents.

This is a unique, unified blueprint built to bridge the political divide, offering a powerful, distinct appeal to Libertarians, Republicans, and Liberals alike.

The Transition: A Strategic, Win-Win Federal Partnership

To ensure a seamless launch, Khan will secure a 5-year funding bridge from the federal government to fully underwrite D.C.’s municipal budget while the District transitions into a tax-free global investment hub.

By giving the federal government real "skin in the game," this plan flips the traditionally antagonistic relationship between Congress and the District into a cooperative, mutual win-win partnership. This isn't a handout—it is a high-yield investment for the U.S. Treasury. The federal government will benefit handsomely from the tidal wave of new domestic and international corporations setting up shop in D.C. While these entities will enjoy zero local taxes, they will contribute massive new revenue streams directly to the federal treasury through federal corporate and regulatory structures. What benefits D.C. residents will directly enrich the U.S. Treasury.

The Financial Engine: Massive Surpluses & The DC Sovereign Wealth Fund

Once fully operational, Khan’s plan is projected to generate more than $30 billion annually, creating massive municipal surpluses. Instead of disappearing into bureaucratic black holes, these surpluses will be used to build a permanent D.C. Sovereign Wealth Fund.

The investments and profits from this fund will be systematically reinvested back into the District to guarantee long-term generational wealth. This financial engine will:

• Create hundreds of thousands of new jobs across the city while enforcing extraordinary worker protections.

• Insulate vulnerable communities from inflationary pressures, specifically safeguarding long-term residents in Wards 7 and 8. To combat displacement and rising living costs, rent will be strictly capped based on income: $900 for a 1-bedroom and $1,500 for a 3-bedroom for anyone earning less than $100,000.

• Launch a $5 Billion Creative Economy Initiative, establishing D.C. as the epicenter of global innovation. This fund will provide the capital infrastructure so that the next Broadway, the next Hollywood, and the next Silicon Valley form right here in the District.

Why Libertarians Will Support This Plan

• The Ultimate Free Market: This proposal represents the ultimate realization of libertarian fiscal policy: the complete abolition of local income, corporate, and property taxes.

• Eliminating Bureaucratic Red Tape: By dismantling the complex, inefficient local tax apparatus, we drastically reduce government intrusion into the lives of individuals and private enterprises.

• Voluntary Economic Synergy: Rather than relying on coercive state taxation, the city’s entire operational budget will be sustained through voluntary, high-volume global commerce and transaction-driven asset management within the new investment hub. It proves that a city can thrive through pure economic liberty.

Why Republicans and Business Owners Will Support This Plan

• Unparalleled Pro-Growth Incentives: Turning D.C. into a tax-free zone creates the most competitive business environment in the Western Hemisphere. It will attract Fortune 500 headquarters, tech innovators, and massive capital reserves currently sitting offshore.

• A Boom in Private Enterprise and Jobs: This policy will stimulate massive private-sector growth, foster entrepreneurship, and create robust economic opportunities, supercharging the local economy through market-driven incentives rather than government subsidies.

• Fiscal Innovation with Zero New Debt: Republicans champion fiscal responsibility. By leveraging global investment flows as a revenue engine, D.C. can sustain its infrastructure and municipal operations safely, ensuring the city is fully funded without accumulating crushing public debt or raising taxes on hard-working families.

• The Virtuous Economic Cycle: Unshackled from corporate and local business taxes, companies operating in D.C. can easily absorb higher baseline operational standards.

• Affording a Top-Tier Workforce: Because local tax liabilities are dropped to zero, business owners can seamlessly afford to pay their workers more—keeping them competitive, motivated, and loyal.

• A Local Spending Boom: When workers earn thriving wages and keep 100% of their income free from local taxes, they have significantly more disposable income. That capital goes right back into the community, flowing directly into D.C.'s restaurants, retail shops, and services, supercharging the local economy from the ground up.

Why Liberals Will Support This Plan

• A Fully Funded, Unprecedented Social Safety Net: For generations, progressive policies have been stalled by the question, "How will we pay for it?" This plan provides the definitive answer. The massive wealth generated by the global investment hub will directly bankroll a progressive dream: 200,000 new permanently affordable homes with rents capped at $900 for 1-bedroom; $1500 for 3-bedroom homes for those earning <$100,000; a $30-$50/hour minimum wage, universal no-cost childcare, 36 weeks of paid parental leave, entirely free public transit (buses and 24/7 metro), and community-first nonprofit grocery stores.

• Eradicating Poverty and Inequality: By taxing the global movement of capital rather than the wages of working-class residents, we create a powerful engine for equity. The wealth of global investors is directly repurposed to eradicate poverty, eliminate food deserts, and guarantee housing security for every D.C. resident.

• A Model for Public Good: This strategy uses macro-economic mechanisms to serve human needs, demonstrating that a city can leverage global financial systems to create an inclusive, deeply supportive society where no one is left behind.

A New Era for Washington, D.C.

We do not have to settle for the status quo. We can build a city that is simultaneously a bastion of economic freedom and a gold standard for social welfare. By uniting the market efficiency celebrated by the right with the robust social protections championed by the left, Khan’s plan moves D.C. past partisan gridlock and into a prosperous, equitable future.

Join Team Khan and help build a tax-free, fully funded Washington, D.C. for everyone.
