Taxation without representation caused a revolution.

Let’s break that down for the lefties.

Taxation: That when the government forcefully takes your money. You don’t believe it’s forceful. Try not paying. Eventually, men will show up at your door with guns and put you in prison.

Without: That’s the opposite of “with”

Representation: That’s when you have someone standing up for your position.

Our country revolted against a tyrannical government that taxed the citizen without giving them a say. Guess what. Debt is taxation without representation. My children have not reached the voting age yet. They are not represented in Congress. My grandchildren are years away. They are not being represented in Congress. My great grandchildren won’t be here for many years away and they are not represented in Congress, but all of them will pay for the excesses of the Obama administration because it will take us generations to pay back the trillion dollars failed stimulus.

And how do I feel about the Bush debt…the same way, but the worst Bush debt is a mere fraction of the best Obama debt.

That is taxation without representation.
