No Representation without Taxation?
I heard a lady call into the Rush Limbaugh program with this astute analysis:
What was the issue that sparked the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773? Taxes right. More specifically, they were upset about being taxed without representation in the British Parliament. They were paying taxes to England, but did not have anyone to officially represent their interests.
You know, "No Taxation without Representation!"
Well...things seem to have come full circle with half the American people paying no Federal income tax at all and the other half basically paying for the poorer half to live. The issue we now have is 51% of the U.S. population is not paying its fair share of the tax burden. When 51% of the people (the taking 51%) can vote themselves entitlements, the other 49% (the producing 49%) are at the "takers'" mercy.
The new rally cry: "No Representation without Taxation!"
