Sounds Alot Like 'Taxation Without Representation'

Aside from merely being an affront to common sense, do you have any idea what this means? It means that we don't have representative democracy in America. If our elected representatives do not take the time to read and evaluate the bills that may become the law of our land that we will have to live under, we are simply not living under a system of popular representation. What we have is something more akin to the college of cardinals where a small number of elite members craft legislation and voting is incidental. How about if Americans decided not to pay their taxes because the tax code is "gibberish" and "incomprehhensible". I'd actually like to see such a mass movement. Sounds alot like taxation without representation to me.
