        Do our territories pay tax? It looks like they do… and they definitely have no representation (non-voting delegates, non-autonomy, the only thing they get is the ability to raise issues and vote on committees, and frankly that’s nothing.)

      Right? Like, that’s your thing right? Stealing money from people? How does this part not excite you? Do you even realize that this is happening?
