Quote by Rush Limbaugh

If Thomas Jefferson thought taxation without representation was bad, he should see how it is with representation.

If Thomas Jefferson thought taxation without representation

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that taxation with representation can be even more disheartening than taxation without representation. It remarks on the disillusionment that can arise when citizens feel their interests are not adequately represented by those they have elected to govern. By alluding to Thomas Jefferson's famous stance against the former, it implies that the reality of taxation with representation may not always measure up to the idealized concept of democracy and fair governance.

I've always had questions about what it meant to be a protester, to be in the minority. Are the people who are trying to find peace, who are trying to have the Constitution apply to everybody, are they really the radicals? We're not protesting from the outside. We're inside.
