Why did colonist resent the british taxes they were required to pay?

"NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION". The colonists didn't want to pay taxes because of this simple phrase. I think you can get the meaning from that. Parliament didn't have any consent from delegates from the colonies on the taxing issue. They boycotted British goods, forcing Britain to repeal the taxes.
