Why are the British willing to pay more taxes for low-quality universal healthcare?
Brits are victims of government school and chronic propaganda and a direct democracy. The biggest problem is the direct democracy. It allows those who are afraid to succeed on their own or those who think they can live at the expense of others the edge in voting. and they all think that some one else is paying the bill for low quality universal health care while the fearful that need some one else to take care of them and those that are lazy or those that are resentful think low quality health care is great as long as everyone has to suffer equally and that some one else is going to pay for it. It is a jacked system. Government promotes inferior care and the people vote for the pols that promise to take the wealth from the rich and give it to the slackers in some form.. like bad healthcare.

Both were very different, and the reactions of the colonists towards each tax were very different as well. The first tax imposed on the colonists was the Stamp Act. Passed by Parliament in March of 1765, its purpose was to pay for the costs of British troops in the American colonies, and pay off the national debt from the war. This was a direct tax on public documents, including newspapers, customs documents, legal papers, and licenses. The British taxed the colonists because they believed the colonists benefited from the war with the expulsion of the French; and since they benefited, they had to contribute for imperial expenses. Advisor to the British Prime Minister, Thomas Whatley discussed why the colonists needed to be taxed,
Why did the American colonies rebel against Great Britain?
The American colonies rebelled against Britain because the American colonies were becoming a force in European trade. Also the people of the colonies were no longer British (except as colonies) because many colonists were 5th and 6th generation colonials. Britain was 3,000 miles away and messages were so slow in being returned that the colonials wanted their own government helping them, not a king and Parliament that were 3,000 miles away.
