Taxation ONLY with Representation, a citizen's right?Nope,not always.?

Question

A large group of citizens of our country (in the thousands) were not allowed to elect senators,congressmen or the president for many years. However, all through those years they had to pay taxes in full. Eventually, they took this injustice to court, claiming that the ¨raison d'être¨of our revolution, which resulted in the birth of our nation, was the precept Taxation only w/Representation. The court ruled that this only applied to PREconstitutional times and therefore was invalid and unconstitutional. Bizarre,what?
I guess life in these United States is always going to surprise you!
(BTW,not one of these thousands of unrepresented but taxed citizens of the U.S. was a felon deprived of his rights as a punitive measure)

Answer 1

GOOD GRIEF GABRIELLA!! It must be very frustrating. You have brought up an interesting paradox and so far nobody has understood what you have said!!

A large group of LAW ABIDING CITIZENS (NOT felons,you dopes) had to pay taxes but did not have the right to elect any political representative . The court ruled that Taxation ONLY with Representation (a precept that our country was founded on) was ANTICONSTITUTIONAL!! Doesn't anyone else see the supreme irony of this?
Where and when did this happen? It is fascinating!

Answer 2

Obviously talking about Blacks,( I refuse to hypenate American) After the Civil War and the emancipation of slaves. Yes it was wrong.

Answer 3

It's justifiable, too. Law abiding citizens should elect representatives that suit their political needs and not criminals.

Answer 4

Felons had all their rights before they forfeited them by showing they were unworthy. Mental defectives and children can't vote either.

Answer 5

just because you pay taxes don't mean you can vote.....cute ha......it is made hard so you don't vote....
