Above: Taxation without Representation is Tyrrany. Tyrannised in DC.
Today I bussed down from Philly at 1150 to Washington DC. I had booked with the same bus company as before through the same website, but I couldn’t get a USD1 fare. I felt ripped off paying USD15 for the journey of about 2h30 🙂
One of the beliefs that led to the establishment of this country is that taxation without representation is tyrrany. And guess what … because DC is not a state, people are taxed but do not get representation in the Congress. And it shows as a tagline on their car number plates.
In Washington I couchsurfed with a lovely gentleman Jim whose place was handy by foot and subway to the various sights.
