Ignorant slaves.

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.

Representation sounds cute. But it is nonsense because tax is involuntary

And when half our budget is for foreign wars, it appears representation isn’t even needed to benefit from the taxes we pay.

It's not representation if you didn't ask for it. It's not representation if you oppose it.
