Irony

One of the founding principles of this great country was no taxation without representation. Yet to this day in our nation’s capital, residents of Washington DC are faced with just that - taxation without representation. Washington DC is governed by Congress but since they are not a state, they don’t get a vote. Even their license tags read “Taxation Without Representation” at the bottom.

I really hope that irony is not lost on the American public.
