That's kinda like ..."No taxation without representation".....or

I have to pay taxes..but can never vote??" Absurd.

Right, and perhaps even worse.

The concept strikes me as bestowing punishment for a crime not committed. We were supposed to rise above such behavior centuries ago.

“Absurd.”

There is nothing unusual or absurd about it at all. Foreign citizens who have qualified to be Permanent Residents are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, must pay taxes, and are subject to being drafted into the Armed Forces of the United States and serve in combat. U.S. Nationals do not have the right to vote in Federal elections, and they are required to pay taxes.
