I saw a car this morning with a Washington D.C. license plate. It had this line printed on it: "Taxation Without Representation".
I remember in school they taught us that that was one of the big reasons the Revolutionary War started. The colonists were taxed without being represented in government.
It occurred to me that we have come full cicle. These days we are taxed out the wazoo and we are not represented in government either. The clowns we send to office are not interested in what the people want and need. They are interested in what they can get from the special interest groups and lobbyists.
We are not represented at all.
We have come full circle.
