Our forefathers made one mistake. What they should have fought for was representation without taxation.

Summary

This quote suggests a reconsideration of the revolutionary ideals of the past. It argues that our founding fathers erred in fighting for representation and taxation, instead proposing the idea of representation without taxation. This alternative viewpoint implies that rather than paying taxes to support the government, individuals should have the right to be represented in decision-making processes without financial obligations. The quote challenges the traditional notion of taxation as necessary for the functioning of a democratic society, proposing an alternative perspective on the relationship between representation and financial responsibilities.
