As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, let us not forget that the Declaration of Independence listed 27 reasons for splitting from England.
Only one was about taxation, and that was a complaint about imposing taxes on us without representation. (I.e., without having a vote.)
Most of the others were about the abrogation of the rights of the people (not of business and commerce) to control our own destinies through the offices of our government.
