There is an attempt to conform to the taxation/representation issue, but it's never going to be 100%. Non-citizens and foreign entities are going to be subject to certain taxes within the US as well. At a simple level, there's no way avoid sales taxes. People have to pay sales tax in states they can't vote in either

That's not true. There are technically different classifications. For example, fees are specifically not taxes.

It also feels like it's something different because they aren't supposed to go into the general fund, but advance payment for specific benefits

Because they don't tax them. Puerto Rico doesn't pay federal taxes

In the end, they're just pictures and that's all that matters. Titles are mostly to entertain myself. Thanks for noticing
