Why didn't the British people refuse the English tax system?

The question perhaps refers to the rebellion of the American colonists in the matter of paying tax to the British crown. The justification for the colonists was that taxes were being paid to England but they had no representation in the British government.

The British who remained in Britain had representation within the democracy that was well established by the 1700s. Although there were periods of discontent, democracy and the rule of law has remained stable in Britain for several centuries. The tax system was simply a part of the democratic system in place and accepted by the vast majority of citizens.
