What happens if Trump removes the Income Tax on the Ides of March. Boy is that going to be something.

Taxation without representation is when the government forces you to pay for something you don't want, you didn't ask for, you don't support, and very often it is something you strongly oppose.

For example, public education, social security, foreign wars and medicare.

Public ed is listed as a taxable priority in most state constitutions. Unless you're a Spoonerite who argues the current generations didn't ratify any existing consitutions and therefore shouldn't be beholden to them, you're stuck paying for public ed.

Spoonerite all the way

I think you must be using a different version of Spoonerite to me:-

Spoonerite refers to a person who frequently makes spoonerisms -humorous slips of the tongue where the initial sounds or letters of words get swapped.

The term comes from Reverend William Archibald Spooner, a 19th-century Oxford don who became famous (perhaps unfairly) for these mix-ups. Whether or not he actually said all of them, his name stuck.

Example spoonerisms:

“You have hissed all my mystery lectures” instead of “missed all my history lectures”

“A well-boiled icicle” instead of “a well-oiled bicycle”

“Let us pray for our queer old dean” instead of “dear old queen”

So:

Spoonerism = the speech error itself

Spoonerite = someone who makes them (especially often or affectionately)

I now have to look up your version of Spoonerite... Education is fun!
