You know that $13 trillion the government borrowed to give to Wall Street?
Guess who they are coming after to get the money.
All of these government policies that brought the nation to ruin were done without the consent of the people. Whether lying us all into wars of conquest, endless gifts to Israel, tax credits to encourage the export of high paying jobs, the repeal of Glass-Steagal, bailouts, etc. etc. etc. the fact is that these were all done against the wishes of the majority of Americans.
Therefore, the effort to raise taxes to pay for a government that is spending money like there is no tomorrow represents taxation without representation. Because representation does not mean simply voting people into Congress, it means that the people voted into Congress VOTE the will of the people.
Clearly, as illustrated during the TARP debate, Congress does not represent the will of the people; it represents the will of the bankers.
Now, in the school I went to, taxation without representation was taught as a just cause for the removal of a government and creation of a new one.
