Taxes Without Votes
Residents of the District of Columbia -- the capital of the United States -- cannot vote for Congress, although in 1961 the 23rd Amendment gave the District three electoral college votes for President. Like the Revolutionaries in 1776, District residents pay taxes but cannot vote.
