Especially since a 3% tax on tea was enough to make you angry.

Do you suppose we are more oppressed than the founding fathers?

Unquestionably.
Prior to the Founding of America, most citizens of the continent only had to promise fealty to the King and pay your taxes.

Prior to the Revolution, the citizen here paid between 1 and 2 shillings/year. You guys didn’t have representation in the Parliament, which was the bigger complaint.

We are significantly more oppressed and we are also substantially more spineless
