As an aside:

Boston politician James Otis was most famously associated with the term, "taxation without representation is tyranny."[1]

Daniel A. Smith, Tax Crusaders and the Politics of Direct Democracy (1998), 21-23

No Taxation Without Representation.

Taxation Without Representation Is Tyranny.

So... you'd better have some good backing before we're taxed to adherement or death, before and after.....

The Greeks and Romans gave us the value of a dollar and what it meant to our society. They knew what it meant, the rest is up to us.

It has come to be a thin line. I know our infrastructure needs refurbishing, but I hope we all know where that line ends.
