    The government already doesn’t abide by that principle. Votes cast by people in left-leaning areas count for a small fraction of what votes cast in right-leaning areas count for. Those convicted of a crime may not vote at all. Nor those without citizenship. Yet all of these groups pay taxes.

    If taxation without representation were generally considered revolution-worthy, as it once was, there would have been a revolution decades ago.
