King George taxed the colonists, for a while, on any sort of important paper, called the Stamp Act. Anything you would put a seal on would be taxed. Then he put a tax on things like glass, tea, paint, and an even higher price on tea (Townshend acts) Then, he made tea ridiculously cheap so the colonists would buy it and prove to him that they didn't mind being taxed without representation, and so some of the great thinkers realized this and they lead a rebellion (aka the Boston Tea Party). The taxes were supposed to pay for the French and Indian War, and for protection against others.

Colonist's had a psycological advantage also. Their cause was freedom. They wanted to govern themselves, and any taxes raised would build a new country, not go into the King's coffers. Taxation without representation would not be tolerated any longer.
