taxation without representation


i have to be honest, here.  i totally forgot today was tax day, i filed so long ago.  but today is the day us second class citizens really get hit with the "taxation without representation" thing.  i still pay the same amount of taxes as anyone else, but i don't have the full rights of a citizen.

it's up to us to fight for our rights & make a difference.  here's an example of how we can do it, one person at a time.  check out her story here.  way to go.  thanks for leading the way.

Oh, lovely story! I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't even think about the tax issue. I didn't see anyone protesting, either, but maybe I wasn't in the right spot.
