As American taxpayers all we have is: Taxation without Representation

It is laughable that the District of Columbia, the most powerful City state in the world, puts the phrase, “Taxation without Representation” on its automobile license plates. Their whining is ridiculous. The government of the District of Columbia is the federal government of the United States of America and because of this the District of Columbia is omnipotent. It is we, the people of the United States who suffer Taxation without Representation.

Supposedly acting in our name, because it funds almost everything to one extent or another, the federal government puts its hand into our lives multiple times a day; yet it never seems to demand an end to the libertine, unfettered lifestyles of the people it forces us to support. When it comes to the conduct of people in our inner cities, minorities, poor Whites and illegal aliens we are not even allowed to ask how the money Washington steals from us to buy their votes is spent. This is truly “Taxation without Representation.”

We the taxpayers who pay the bills are laughed at if we dare question why there are no requirements to receive welfare, or why women are rewarded for producing multiple children with multiple irresponsible males. This is classic, “Taxation without Representation.”

Because the federal government funds our roads it gets to say how fast we can drive, how slowly we can drive and how much we have to pay to use our own roads. They have no trouble posting speed limit signs, but would the government ask a welfare queen to...

Yeah, it’s a sick joke and it is rubbed in our faces.

Sorry, but we all consent to it by filing our taxes every year. We can piss and moan all we want, but in the end, it’s our fault.

It seems to me the problem we have is worse. We have a multitude who get representation without taxation who get to vote to take my things.
