It’s somehow worse than that they DO have (kinda) reps Eleanor Holmes Norton DC house reps are “delegates” so they cant vote on bills but the position still exist.
Congress has the right to levy taxes under the Taxing and Spending Clause. However non voting members can’t vote on any laws and therefore can’t vote on tax related law . Wikipedia says They receive compensation, benefits, and the ability to send mail without a stamp like full house members. I’ve heard they can vote in committees but I can’t confirm that
so I would say this is taxation without representation. Or taxation with the most minimal amount of powerless representation possible. But that’s a longer phrase

Well to my understanding, aren’t tax related things not controlled by them? Does Congress as a whole control those things?
