That's an interesting thought. I wonder if this is legally defined somewhere or if it could be argued in court to get out of paying taxes.

"No taxation without representation" was a rallying cry of the revolution, not government policy or federal law. There are lots of people in the US with no representation at the federal level who still pay federal taxes, the most obvious of which is the entire population of Washington DC.
