We went to war to emancipate ourselves from distant elites who didn't care to hear us out or offer representation, instead seeing us as a piggy bank to break into whenever this elite class felt like we should.
Had king George allowed the colonies more self-government and a representative to the crown, there wouldn't have been an issue.
They don't have representation in Congress. But, if I"m not mistaken, residents of non-states, who have no Federal representation, do not pay Federal income tax -- with one famous exception.
Yep. I pay the same federal tax but I pay it to the VI. Our congress people are ignored but they exist. So "representation" without Representation. And, yes, our ballots have the election for POTUS, but they're ignored lol
