No Representation Without Taxation!

Yes, you read that right.  Recall our discussion about the tax tipping point?  This reader comment to John Derbyshire at NRO really wins the prize in my book:

"'No taxation without representation!' The Tea Party protesters of our time don't have that cry available to them. We do have representation. The destruction of freedom and prosperity is proceeding with the full support of our elected representatives in Congress, under the leadership of a President easily elected by a majority of voters."

Methinks an appropriate cry today might be "No representation without taxation." That would eliminate over 40 percent of the electorate, leaving the productive 60 percent in charge.

AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!

Okay, it has been officially proposed...who's going to run for office with this as their platform?  Anyone?  Anyone?

There's my two cents.
