In the Declaration of Independence, the American colonists complained about the British government putting taxes on them without their voice being heard. Hence the phrase "no taxation without representation." This referred to the fact that the colonists had no one to represent them in the British parliament.

In today's US government, citizens have the chance to influence the laws created in the country. Citizens do this by voting for members of Congress. Congress is made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives. These elected officials help to create nation laws/taxes. These officials are also supposed to represent the people who they serve. So, if Americans are not happy with any new tax laws/reforms, they can write, call, or meet their representative in order to express their concerns. The elected Congress person will take this into consideration when voting.
