    That’s possibly reframing “no taxation without representation” a bit but I don’t entirely disagree with the sentiment.

      They thought funding Trump would get them representation. They were wrong. Trump cares about no one but himself.

        Why would they care about “Representation?”

        They have more wealth than 1,000 people could ever spend in 1,000 lifetimes.

        Because being that greedy is a mental illness.

      When elections are fraudulent, its the same as no representation. Besides, pretty soon they’ll be suspending elections altogether. It doesn’t get more “no representation” than that.

      How are billionaires being taxed unfairly, and without “Representation,” when they own our politicians?

            I really don’t understand the aggression, I was talking about the old rich dead people propaganda concerning no taxation without representation 200 years ago, I never said anything about the fuckwads we have today.

            If you think I’m saying something different, explain what you read and allow me the opportunity to clarify my intent.

            Saying I’m full of shit at this point is just asinine.
