Hey, One of the main reasons for the USA revolutionary war was the colonies were being taxed by England, but had no representation in parliament. I was in DC and their license tags say Taxation without Representation, alluding to the fact that the Constitution restricts Representation to the states. Never mind that most residents of the District came there for the benefit of the government largess. If Taxation without Representation is bad, then why is it possible for people to have Representation, but yet they pay NO taxes, or Representation without Taxation?
