To be fair, the American revolution was never about taxes, not really. Every tax on the colonies was dropped except for the tax on tea, which resulted in lower tea prices then before thanks to the EITC.
The issue wasn't really about the tax itself, this is correct. The issue was that we didn't have any representation in Parliament, hence the whole "No Taxation without Representation" bit that's famously recorded in our history books. It was because the Colonists didn't feel that they had any voice in how their lives were being run.

Better a theme park on the Moon than a Gulag.
