We owe our independence to high British royal taxes. The American colonists were so angry they dumped tea in Boston Harbor because of oppressive taxes without representation. Then with independence we had taxation with representation. Today, we have taxation because of representation, with politicians using our tax dollars to bribe voters with more government programs.
We have taxes because of representation. I think this is very insightful. There will always be problems when the voters can be bought with their own money.
