Reply #102: That's not what "taxation without representation" means. [View All]

FYI

If you elect a representative who decides to tax you when you didn't want to be taxed, it's not taxation without representation. If you don't think that's dumb, I'm sorry. The reason why we elect representative is so that we don't have to vote on everything directly. We can't decide everything by referendum. There are lots of things of varying importance that we fund that would never be funded if we had to vote for them by referendum. The stadium isn't much different than some of the things voted on in the bonding bill.
