It wasn't a mere 3% tax. King George was trying to pay off some war, so he was taxing everything he could while not providing anything in return. It's basically like your parents demanding payment for raising you because they are up to their eyeballs in debt.

While our country's budget is fucked and the money is being spent wrong, it's still being spent on the country.
