 Best Answer

The tax imposed by the crown was actually lower than than taxes paid in England. The problem was we were not consulted or given a voice on the issue. The King tried to pass it off so that later on other taxes imposed on the colonies could be done without consent because we didn't argue about having a tax lowered. 

Pure and simple it was a way to impose control without consent.
