Everything is taxed at some point, renters do not pay property tax directly, but they do pay it indirectly through rent. Non US citizens pay income, property, and other taxes without representation ( ie not able to vote)
Renters can vote and speak on political matters as well. IMHO, the SCOTUS got it right in saying that the FEC has no power to limit ‘political speech’ by (carefully?) selected corporations “too close” to a federal election. After all, the FEC allows NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, Fox News and countless other ‘news’ corporations to speak on ‘political matters’ anytime they feel the urge to do so.
