MP SPEAKS | Established since 1776, one key principle in a democracy is “no taxation without representation”.
It is a simple concept of responsibility and right. With the responsibility to pay tax, citizens enjoy the right to have representation in government. With the right to collect tax, the government has the responsibility to be representative.
This does not apply to colonial governments or mafias. By definition, a colonial government is an alien power imposed on the local population. And of course, mafias neither seek the consent of the people they extract “protection fee” nor allow the “clients” to elect some representatives to sit in mafia leadership.
