People were often angry about taxes historically due to a perceived lack of representation and fairness in how they were imposed. For instance, during the American Revolution, colonists protested against "taxation without representation," feeling they should not be taxed by a government in which they had no voice. Additionally, many taxes were seen as burdensome and disproportionately affected lower-income individuals, leading to widespread discontent and resistance. This anger was further fueled by the belief that tax revenues were not being used for the benefit of the taxpayers.
