Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

A key element excluded from this amusing article is of course the underlying motive of this (<b>right wing?! </b>
)tax protest movement - being "no taxation <b>without representation</b>".
Being that modern Bostonians are indeed represented in the US Congress by those they elect, I don't see the connection.
It's a fun article but that's where the analogy really neglects reality.
