In Medieval times the authority of the king to tax was based on the idea that he owned the entire nation. After the British Civil War and the execution of Charles II, Parliament needed to justify taking over the taxing authority, so they arrived at the doctrine that taxation was permitted as long as there was representation. So when Parliament later decided to tax the American Colonies to pay for their defense, the cowardly decision not to allow American representation in Parliament would lead to eventual American independence.
Of course, since then we’ve learned that taxation can still be tyranny even with representation. Class dismissed.
Thus, it came to pass that Sir Ronald of Reagan declared that cutting taxes would put more money in the coffers. And after 30 years of the policy not working his successors want to lower taxes more, to fix the deficit caused by 30 years of low taxes.
Reaganomics worked it was that clown that did most of his thinking with his dick and the self appointed emperor that’s in there now that are really f*%$+@g things up for the few of us that still have jobs.
