To the Editor:

Anyone with any knowledge of American history knows the story of how America came to be, when, “We the People,” would not endure taxation without representation. That was slavery pure and simple. Thank God for those courageous first Americans, our wise and faithful Founding Fathers.

Today we are rapidly approaching a similar sort of slavery, with this modern twist, “equal representation with little or no taxation.” That is as much a crime against freedom as what led to the American Revolution. Eventually, a second revolution will come when an enslaved people required to support the entitlement crowd – and their belief in an unearned entitlement to an equal vote – finally revolt. When irresponsible people are given equal voting power, we get the irresponsible government of today.
