Taxation Without Representation
According to the Washington Post "There is broader public agreement on how Congress should approach war funding. Only about a quarter of adults want Congress to fund fully the administration's $190 billion request; seven in 10 want the proposed allocation reduced, with 43 percent wanting it reduced sharply or entirely. About seven in 10 independents want Congress to cut back funds allocated for the war effort, as do nearly nine in 10 Democrats; 46 percent of Republicans agree."
Fat chance that Congress will pay any attention to the Public. After all, Bush might call them names. In a way, this is another form of "taxation without representation." More often, members of Congress believe they know better what's good for us. They "virtually" represent us.
In Texas, we have two Republican Senators (Cornyn and Hutchison) who consistently disregard their constituents who just happen to be Democrats. We're simply not represented.
I suspect someday in the distant future there will be another armed revolution in this country.People will finally get tired of not have representation in government.
