How is it taxation without representation? Detroit's power to impose income taxes is a function of state law [[Act 284 of 1964), not some claimed inherent authority of the city [[which is just a political subdivision of the state anyway). If non-resident Detroit workers living in Michigan are upset about non-resident taxes or want to condition collecting them on giving them a vote, they can petition their own elected state legislators to amend the state tax statute accordingly.
