This book tells an instructive tale of Hong Kong's tax system from 1940 (when taxes on income were first introduced in the territory) until the present day. For Hong Kong's own historians and political scientists, it supplies cogent but previously neglected evidence of the influence of the territory's business interests. For students of British imperialism, it provides a compelling case-study of relations between London and a recalcitrant colony. For Hong Kong's own tax profession, it corrects the notion that the territory's tax system was the product of governmental design. And for tax theorists and taxpayers everywhere, it suggests how it might be possible to structure a combination of very light taxes and very low public spending so as to win broad popular support.--Michael Littlewood is a member of the Faculty of Law at the University of Auckland, where he teaches tax. His work has been published in the U.S., the U.K., Hong Kong, China, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. He lived in Hong Kong from 1989 until 2003.--"An excellent read ... partly a matter of 'who done it?' but, even more so, of 'how did they get away with it?' Dr. Littlewood's book will prove indispensable for anyone wanting to use the Hong Kong precedent to argue for a flat rate tax system in their own country." - John Tiley, Professor of Tax Law, University of Cambridge--"Fascinating ... [This book is] a first-rate history and raises troubling questions about the necessity of linking taxes and democratic choice. The book also raises intriguing doubts about whether low taxes and low services may be an acceptable alternative model to the prevalent high-tax, high-services Western welfare state. This book should be required reading for students of political science, history, sociology and law." - Reuven Avi-Yonah, Irwin I. Kohn Professor of Law, University of Michigan-----

"The quintessential taxation protest was a 1768 missive from colonial Virginia to the British Government. This PMR (Petition to His Majesty, the Memorial to the House of Lords, and the Remonstrance to the House of Commons) was issued by the House of Burgesses (the elected Virginia Assembly), whose members included Washington and Jefferson. The Burgesses sent a PMR copy to every other colonial assembly, stimulating similar protests from Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina (some copying the PMR wording) and the Declaration of Independence."--Back cover.

This book relies on the Constitution, the founding documents, Articles of Association, Declaration of Rights and Grievances, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights to present an accurate picture of how badly our Congressional representatives have taxed us to the hilt without any concern for representing even one of us. Taxation without Representation, the book, unearths and explores a massive dilemma for U.S. Citizens. The US began without representation. The English Parliament provided none. Then, the Colonies fought a war of independence to acquire representation. Now, our beloved representatives have fallen for the candy-coated wiles of the new kids on the block--obscenely rich mega-corporations, lobbyists with party-invitations in Washington, and members of the establishment of both parties. If only our representatives were honest, this book would not be necessary. This book offers a walk-though about how our government once was, how it improved, and how it again eroded in this our age, and the country regressed from freedom to a new set of oppressive roots. Former president Obama made racism worse while racism had become a moot issue in a period in which blacks had accepted whites and vice-versa. Why Obama chose to make everybody in America a racist, or an accused racist whether black, or white, is a question only the former president can answer. Nonetheless, that is what he did. Obama appears to be a permanent enigma. The book highlights the major issues affecting the American worker, particularly the wholesale exportation of jobs to legal and illegal foreign nationals. The book also discusses how both political parties are preventing independent candidates from appearing on ballots and the problems presented by voting machines surreptitiously designed with technology that enables an interested party's surrogates to manipulate and even override the people's choices. Our representative democratic republic is definitely in trouble. We have the biggest bumbling set of idiots ever supposedly representing us, while scobbing up every perquisite possible for themselves. While pointing out definitively that we pay too much in taxes, this book also offers a number of unique solutions to help get us back on a track of which the founders would smile. You will too. Enjoy! You and Brian W. Kelly know that because our representatives in the House, the Senate, in state legislatures and city councils have forgotten their duties as representatives of the people, we had to call them on it. Additionally, the president, the governors, the mayors, and other prefects of the people in the executive branches of governments across the land have conveniently forgotten that the primary fundamentals of our representative constitutional democracy (republic) starts with representation. They get paid for one thing, representation, and it is the last thing on their mind. "No taxation without representation" was the catch phrase in the period of 1763-1776 to summarize the major grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies, incipient kernels of what would later become the United States of America. When King George III of England and the English Parliament began to impose new taxes on the colonists (Stamp Act, Intolerable Acts, etc.) without their concurrence, Reverend Jonathan Mayhew of Boston coined this term during one of his sermons in Boston. Another Bostonian, a politician by the speak of the day, James Otis, changed this just a bit and he is well known for the phrase, "taxation without representation is tyranny." Tyranny it was and in this book, you will see that tyranny it surely is again. In 1773, American Colonists violently opposed the tax on tea imports at the most celebrated Tea Party of all time. Kelly captures the notion that before Donald J. Trump, the government of the past president was not interested in what was best for America.

This book is an outgrowth of a special seminar on Pressure Groups conducted in the Department of Political Science at Howard University during the fall of 2000. The major focus of the seminar was on DC Vote. The chapters in this book are revised versions of the papers that were presented at the seminar. Since the chapters employ an interest-group perspective to investigate various aspects of DC Vote¡_s efforts to influence decision-makers at all branches of government and throughout the United States, the book is a valuable tool for instructors and students in most areas of American Government and Politics, especially National Government, State and Local Government, Interest Group Politics, Public Administration, and Political Behavior.
