The REAL TEA PARTY:
Not a revolt against taxation
THE REAL BOSTON TEA PARTY was, in part, a revolt
against the British Crown’s huge corporate tax cuts for the powerful British
East India Company, (the Wal-Mart of its time) allowing them to dump cheap tea on
America which would wipe out New England based tea wholesalers, mom-and-pop shops
and take over the tea business in America. There’s more to it, for the
fascinating details, check it out in any decent history book or online source! Confound
your modern Tea Party friends and relatives!
