"No taxation without representation" began as a slogan in the period 1763–1776 that summarized a primary grievance of the British colonists in the Thirteen Colonies. In short, many in those colonies believed the lack of direct representation in the distant British Parliament was an illegal denial of their rights as Englishmen, and therefore laws taxing the colonists (the kind of law that affects the most individuals directly), and other laws applying only to the colonies, were unconstitutional." This is quoted directly from Wikipedia.com.
President Obama has promised less taxes for 95 millions Americans! Of course, now over 45 million pay no taxes. Many of them receiving the Earned Income Credit - welfare hidden in the IRS 1040 form.
What will we have when 15% pay income taxes and 85% do not but each group has equal representation in federal government? Do we have representation without taxation?
Is that fairer than taxation without representation?
'til later
