They beleived tha since overall the American colonists were taxed less than the residents of England that the taxes they had to pay were not unreasonable. The real issue was not taxation, but the lack of political representation for the American colonies in the British Parliament.
They did not think much about it. As such, it didn't bother them because they only wanted to follow the King. They never cared about representation in government.

Loyalists
There were many colonists who didn't think taxes were a good reason for American independence, some were relatives of famous Patriots.The colonists who still remained loyal to Britain, even after the taxes, are called Loyalists.

Why I want to be a Patriot Do you wonder why I want to be Patriot? I'm writing about Patriots because they're interesting and unusual. I am going to write about unfair King George, independence, and the events that happened to the Patriots. First, as we all know, King George was unfair to the Patriots. The taxes were too high. The taxes really hurt our businesses. Our lawyers fought in court with the Loyalists because of how unfair the Loyalists' and King George's laws were. We didn't only fight about how unfair the laws were; we also fought about how the taxes were unfair, too. Also, King George appointed governors. King George was very unfair! Next, Independence was another important thing to the Patriots. Independence brought wealth and freedom to the Patriots. The Patriots thought independence was very important to them because businesses would be better and less unfair, than the Loyalists' businesses. Another reason why the Patriots thought independence was important is because if they were independent, they would have fewer taxes. The Patriots would at least lower the taxes! Finally, the Patriots had a very interesting life. They had many events happening in their lives. The Loyalists shot the Patriots. That was a very important event. Five people died, and six people got wounded. This event was called the Boston Massacre. Suddenly, the Patriots snuck to the Loyalists' houses because they wanted revenge on them, especially when they fired the bomb on us! Everyone knows about the Boston Tea Party. This event was one of the most important events in all of history! The Patriots were really mad about the really high taxes paid for everyday goods (tea), so they just dumped tea into the harbor! That was a very big waste, but that's how mad Patriots were about Loyalists! Hopefully, now you know why being a Patriot is better than being a Loyalist! Again, I would choose to be a Patriot, because the Loyalists were unfair (including King George), independence, and the Patriots had many events! Patriots are very interesting and fun to learn about!

They were people who didnt like taxes being put on them.

They were called loyalists.
The American Loyalists did not consider taxes a reason to rebel. The Loyalists remained loyal to Britain even during the revolutionary war.
Why not! If there consider a colonist they got to play taxes. Or if they switch sides they can fight against unfair taxes and be a patriot
What reasons might loyalists have had to support Great Britain?Those who chose to stay with Britain, the Loyalists, did not consider unfair taxes and regulations good reasons for rebellion. Some remained loyal to the king because they were officeholders who would lose their positions as a result of the Revolution. Others were people who lived in relative isolation and who had not been part of the wave of discontent that turned so many Americans against Britain.
The term is "loyalist".
