The Big Corporation's Tea Party

"Perhaps the greatest irony of the Tea Party is that the Boston Tea Party was actually a revolt against corporate monopoly, not taxes on tea.

The British Crown used to tax commerce, which created a black market. The British East India Company complained to the Crown that tea smugglers were taking market share away from them so the Crown eliminated commerce taxes on tea, putting the black marketers out of business. It was they who threw the first shipment of TAX FREE tea into Boston Harbor."
