I am against taxation without representation. If it require "balancing out" (via taxation), then it wasn't a workable system in the first place.

I guess the idea would be that the employers are taxed, not the employee. Also, H1Bs are already taxed all the regular taxes even if they return to their country before they could use Medicare or gather enough SS credits.

A side question: should representation without taxation be allowed?
