If a man has a felony and his rights are taken away and can't vote how can he be taxed. Isn't that taxation without representation
Hello ****, this question relates to the principle of "taxation without representation." Despite a felony conviction, individuals are still obligated to pay taxes. This is because:
- Taxation is a legal obligation for all citizens.
- Voting rights are separate from taxation obligations.
However, laws vary by location. May I know where you reside?
But if you can't vote for your representative why isn't it illegal to tax me
The principle of "No taxation without representation" is a historical concept. Today's legal systems separate tax obligations from voting rights. Even if voting rights are restricted, tax obligations remain. This is common across many jurisdictions, including the U.S.
But it's not separate
Indeed, it's a complex issue. To clarify, the separation refers to how the law treats these obligations. You're still obligated to pay taxes despite not being able to vote. Would you like to explore options for restoring your voting rights?
So even though i have no rights i still have to pay for someone in office i didn't want anyway
Yes, ****. Regardless of voting rights, tax obligations apply to all. This is because taxes fund public services that everyone uses. If you're interested, I can provide information on restoring voting rights.
