No Taxation Without Representation

[225for70]

I'm having a problem with this..Every year as Americans we see new taxes. However, i don't recall actually agreeing to pay these bills or anything like that..

For example on your cell Phone.  Every year the amount of Taxes increase. However, never have i gotten a phone call from anyone asking me if i agreed with the new tax etc..i registrations
a motor vehicle the the other day, there another extra few dollars due to taxes on the registration, extra environmental (emissions) charges, etc.


Taxation Without Representation is defined as,

A situation in which a government imposes taxes on a particular group of its citizens, despite the citizens not consenting or having an actual representative deliver their views when the taxation decision was made. This situation was one of the triggering events that triggered the original thirteen American colonies to revolt against the British Empire.

I go the other way - NO REPRESENATION WITHOUT TAXATION 


If you don't pay taxes - you should not be able to vote - period.

I agree with that 100%. We definitely shouldn't have such a high percentage of people not paying taxes as we do in the united states.

However, they keep creating new Taxes every day.  I got an Oil change today, and there an environmental tax on there.?

I don't have a problem with taxes.  They are an essential part of living in a society.

Not if the government just flushes the money into a toilet like the trillion dollars they spent on the stimulus.

I agree the stimulus wasn't as effective as it could have been, had they done what was needed - get more money.

Supposedly when we print money there will be inflation, perhaps hyperinflation if we go crazy..The money already in existence will lose value.

This is what they taught me would happen if an economies central bank printed money..
