I know it's difficult to read, but the picture is meant to show you the motto on a Washington, DC license plate.
The motto reads, "Taxation Without Representation."
It always perplexes me when I read this because you would figure DC would want to place something positive on their license plate. Something for District citizens to rally around. Maybe something similar to New Hampshire's motto, which is, "Live Free or Die."
The New Hampshire motto highlights something the state takes pride in - they are a free people.
Do the citizens of DC take pride in the fact that they are taxed, but don't have a representative in the federal government? I wouldn't take pride in that.
