The colonials paid 10% of the tax paid by those in England. Tax was massively overhyped by the rabble-rousers. When else in history has anyone protested against a 90% tax discount?
i’m too tired to remember what the actual tax rate paid by the colonists was, but take a minute to read the acts that were passed and see some of the shit that was passed along with the tax rates. there’s a constant erosion of rights over a decade. they just happened to coincide with the tax acts. specifically… i think it was the townshend acts?
