We need some new slogans

"No taxation without representation" is still, unfortunately, a useful rallying cry. Quite a few government bodies can fiddle with fees and taxes without anybody voting on the result.

But more recent events demand new battle cries.

I cannot think of any reason why a citizen (or even a subject, or a corporation) should be compelled to submit to secret rulings made by a secret court. And when a judge can take control of the entire school system of a state and revise it to suit his fancy (including demanding huge increases in funding), there's no longer any pretense that the government serves the people. No legislation without representation!

There are not enough hours in the day to read and understand the Niagara of rules promulgated by agencies given authority by enabling legislation. If it is impossible to understand, it is unjust to demand obedience. No regulation without legislation!

What else do we need?
