Hi,

I see both arguments of this issue as valid to some degree. However, I would like to throw another rock on the pile.

When we don't get to vote because of disenfranchisement via any method, it is called "Taxation without representation," since the majority of us pay taxes. The cry from the politicians is that we are keeping taxpaying people from voting.

However, some of the so called working poor pay no taxes because of all the breaks for those who are poor whether by choice (refuse to work or try) or by chance (lack of opportunity) or other reason. They also vote. Is this called "Representation without taxation?" Where are the same voices that cry about taxation without representation.

Therefore, I support the national sales tax so everyone pays taxes and also should get representation.
