Taxation Without Representation... 4th Edition: Can the U.S. Avoid Another "Boston Tea Party?" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947402270)

This book relies on the Constitution, the founding documents, Articles of Association, Declaration of Rights and Grievances, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights to present an accurate picture of how badly our Congressional representatives have taxed us to the hilt without any concern for representing even one of us.Taxation without Representation, the book, unearths and explores a massive dilemma for U.S. Citizens. The US began without representation. The English Parliament provided none. Then, the Colonies fought a war of independence to acquire representation. Now, our beloved representatives have fallen for the candy-coated wiles of the new kids on the block--obscenely rich mega-corporations, lobbyists with party-invitations in Washington, and members of the establishment of both parties. If only our representatives were honest, this book would not be necessary. This book offers a walk-though about how our government once was, how it improved, and how it again eroded in this our age, and the country regressed from freedom to a new set of oppressive roots. Former president Obama made racism worse while racism had become a moot issue in a period in which blacks had accepted whites and vice-versa. Why Obama chose to make everybody in America a racist, or an accused racist whether black, or white, is a question only the former president can answer. Nonetheless, that is what he did. Obama appears to be a permanent enigma. The book highlights the major issues affecting the American worker, particularly the wholesale exportation of jobs to legal and illegal foreign nationals. The book also discusses how both political parties are preventing independent candidates from appearing on ballots and the problems presented by voting machines surreptitiously designed with technology that enables an interested party's surrogates to manipulate and even override the people's choices. Our representative democratic republic is definitely in trouble. We have the biggest bumbling set of idiots ever supposedly representing us, while scobbing up every perquisite possible for themselves. While pointing out definitively that we pay too much in taxes, this book also offers a number of unique solutions to help get us back on a track of which the founders would smile. You will too. Enjoy!You and Brian W. Kelly know that because our representatives in the House, the Senate, in state legislatures and city councils have forgotten their duties as representatives of the people, we had to call them on it. Additionally, the president, the governors, the mayors, and other prefects of the people in the executive branches of governments across the land have conveniently forgotten that the primary fundamentals of our representative constitutional democracy (republic) starts with representation. They get paid for one thing, representation, and it is the last thing on their mind. "No taxation without representation" was the catch phrase in the period of 1763-1776 to summarize the major grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies, incipient kernels of what would later become the United States of America. When King George III of England and the English Parliament began to impose new taxes on the colonists (Stamp Act, Intolerable Acts, etc.) without their concurrence, Reverend Jonathan Mayhew of Boston coined this term during one of his sermons in Boston. Another Bostonian, a politician by the speak of the day, James Otis, changed this just a bit and he is well known for the phrase, "taxation without representation is tyranny." Tyranny it was and in this book, you will see that tyranny it surely is again. In 1773, American Colonists violently opposed the tax on tea imports at the most celebrated Tea Party of all time. Kelly captures the notion that before Donald J. Trump, the government of the past president was not interested in what was best for America.
