I read this: "In fact taxation without representation is what led to the American Revolution and creation of the USA." and I think to myself: Taxes are very high in America now, so either the example is wrong are there was something good to this system that it was incorporated in the end.

It's a reflection of "what led to the American Revolution", not so much what's going on now. However, we could say that all the "blockchain activity" going on now, could be largely attributed to "taxation without true representation" by the "powers that be" on a global scale.
What a great discussion you have going here. I am new to cryto and only started learning more about it a couple of weeks ago. I don't recall exactly how I was led here to Steemit, but thank God I'm here. As I am learning more about blockchain from people like yourself, I am beginning to see the great potential it has to really revolutionize the future for the better. However, I was also thinking, in the wrong hands (powers that be), it can also be used to manipulate everything, only to serve the wrong hands even more. I know I am digressing here, but I truly hope for more people with the intention to make this world better place will take over this new wave for blockchains.
you're more astute than you're giving yourself credit for...
