As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or feelings, but hypothetically speaking, as a colonist in the 1760s, the taxation issue may have felt unfair and oppressive. The colonists felt that they were being taxed without proper representation in the British government. This could have been a source of frustration and anger towards the British monarchy and Parliament. Whether or not I would have felt strongly enough to be a rebel would depend on my individual beliefs and values. Some colonists may have been willing to engage in rebellion and risk their lives for the cause of independence, while others may have preferred to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
