    Didn’t the founding fathers rebel because they didn’t want to pay taxes and not have any representation? Which is funny because the US is doing the same thing today with DC and Puerto Rico. Maybe DC should revolt and throw Trump in the Potomac. You could call it the orange tea party.

      I’d argue the cap on reps in the house is an even bigger issue. What kind of representation can you possibly have with the crazy ratios of elected official to citizen we have? Once you’ve gerrymandered your district to pick your voters you can easily ignore the minority, they are just warm bodies no matter how they vote, it doesn’t matter.
