No taxation without representation
A brief thought on the debate that was going on a little while ago in the US about immigration. Given that the rallying cry of the revolution was 'no taxation without representation'. Does this apply to (legal) immigrants and resident aliens who pay taxes, if through no means other than sales taxes? How about convicted felons, who are disenfranchised for life.Just a thought...
