Greetings to you too, Andreea Dumitrescu.
“No taxation without representation” is used by taxpayers who are protesting against taxes they are obligated to pay. Even though the people are required to pay the taxes, they have no say in the government policies.
This slogan is possibly the first poster the American colonists used against British rule.
