England was also spending large sums of money for British soldiers stationed in the American Colonies. England raised taxes in America to try and get money to pay back its debt. Patriot leaders were against any internal tax they they did not consent to. John Adams was one of the staunchest leaders who fought against these taxes. He successfully argued against the stamp act a few years earlier. One of the taxes that England raised was on tea imported into the American Colonies. Tea was one of the most imported products in America and England hoped it could raise a lot of money this way. A few Americans were opposed to the tax and issued this as a protest. <a target="_new" href="http://www.theamericanrevolution.org/hevents/bteapart.asp" rel="nofollow">Source</a> The English government was still in debt from the war it had fought against France and felt the colonies should help pay for it.

Remember, dissent is only patriotic if you disagree with a Republican. You'll not find the people who were spouting that rhetoric a couple of years ago to be overly sympathetic toward those questioning Herr Obama. Be careful!
