> would you say the law itself..
Well, you're asking a question that, in a vacuum, isn't political but since it can be considered controversial, and I think you know this, it becomes political. So did you want to debate politics or not?
If that law is founded on the basis of excluding "outsiders" because they are outsiders then that's texbook xenophobia.
What you might want to explore is whether "no taxation without representation" is a core US axiom, whether "outsiders" should pay taxes, etc.
> Any law that prevents taxpayers voting is inconsistent with the principle of no taxation without representation.
That sentence would have been a great response to Mike's tweet.
Thanks for letting me explore some thoughts with you without spiraling into divisive language.
