"No taxation without representation" began as a slogan in the period 1763–1776 that summarized a primary grievance of the British colonists in the Thirteen Colonies. In short, many in those colonies believed the lack of direct representation in the distant British Parliament was an illegal denial of their rights as Englishmen, and therefore laws taxing the colonists (the kind of law that affects the most individuals directly), and other laws applying only to the colonies, were unconstitutional. In recent times, it has been used by several other groups in several different countries over similar disputes. In the United States, the phrase is used in Washington, D.C. as part of the campaign for a vote in Congress. In November 2000, the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles began issuing license plates bearing the slogan "Taxation without representation". In a show of support for the city, President Bill Clinton used the "Taxation Without Representation" plates on the presidential limousine; however, President George W. Bush had the tags replaced to those without the motto shortly upon taking office. In 2002, the city council authorized adding the slogan to the D.C. flag, but no new flag design has been approved. In 2008, when the District was allowed to participate in the 50 State Quarters program, it submitted designs containing the slogan, but they were rejected by the U.S. Mint.

I was referring to the very conspicuous absence of the word "no".

And I was trying to figure out what "GZ 084D" meant.

I think it refers to the fact that DC pays taxes yet they have no seats in congress. they have taxation with no representation.

Wow, it never even occurred to me that it was a legit plate. Makes sense now that I put it in context, ie. DC getting a congressional seat.
It was a fake plate on a location shoot for the TV show NCIS, (never seen it), they were using house to simulate DC/Maryland/VI., I'm assuming. ![]() ![]() ![]()
