Take the American Revolution where we are taught we fought against tyranny and heavy taxation that was unfair to the colonies. What they don't tend to teach, here, is that we were being taxed to pay for a war the colonists started that England didn't want (French and Indian War). It was England making the American colonies accountable for their actions, and they threw a tantrum.
And for which GB had to maintain forts and several thousand troops on the frontier for a decade afterwards.
The tax burden on Americans was much less than that on Britons in GB.
But we are AMERICANS and double standards are our political lifeblood.
