“No taxation without representation “ was a rallying cry of the colonies against Britain and a central motivation for the American Revolution. You see Britain was imposing numerous taxes on the colonies who had no voice in how these taxes were implemented. They had no representation, no one who would present their views to the British government. The unfairness and frustration culminated in the American Revolution. As you write your tax payment checks during the next 30 days think about your “ representation” in Washington and Trenton. Elect people who will actually REPRESENT YOU!
