The colonists thought it was not fair if England kept taxing them when they didn't even have a say in Parliament. So I think that it was a meaningful slogan because to this day you can tax someone without a vote or say.

The colonists adopted this slogan because they were being taxed (i.e. Stamp Act, Sugar Act,...) without sufficient representation in Parliament. They used this slogan to protest the taxes--- how could they be taxed with no one to voice their opinions and views in the main government? Hence, no taxation (of colonists) without (proper) representation (in the government).
