Yes, those crazy non-residents, paying higher taxes, supporting those wacky full-timers...oh wait, I guess if you live in Escambia County your a crazy non-resident! Suprise!
What class was I in when I heard "No taxation without representation"? I must have been huffing Polonium-210.
No, he taught me the impetus for the founding of our country was a reaction to taxing a citizenry with no representation.
if i weren't crying so hard i'd be laughing my b*** off
somethings are funny cuz they're true.
as for joe and bob...simmer down now
but i have to say...no taxation without representation is the foundation for our country. if you commit to legal obligations in two states, you should have legal rights in two states.
bob, i'm still confused(obviously). where is there no representation for second property owners? as mentioned above(a couple of times, i think) you/they are fully able to state your opinions/thoughts to the elected officials via phone, email, or in person, if you happen to be here. hopefully you/they are able to take advantage of this to get yourselves heard.
the taxation without representation being thrown around is kind of innacurate, for as you probably know, it refers to DC where the residents have no voice to get senators elected, but possibly vote for congress. we, and everyone else in the country have that ability.

Come on, stop watching the shuttle launch, SJ, you know I don't advocate one vote per property owned. I do believe property holding non-residents that have no say in government is going to be legally challenged. I also think that it is patriotic to question our representative form of government if there is some sort of tyranny. Both Federal and State constitutions allow for amendments. SOH happens to be a lousy state amendment that treats non-residents and those moving within the state as second class citizens with totally unequal protection under the law. Of course, in the beginning of our country, only property holders had a vote. But we know the rest of the story.
Answer one...voting!!!!Answer two, and I say this having been born in the District.....was referring to King George. The D.C. analogy, while being correct is weak because I'm not sure where more dollars per square foot are spent than in the District. D.C. is grossly over-represented in those terms, however, I fully support voting in D.C.
