But the "Boston Tea Party" was in fact - as well as an act of criminal theft and vandalism - a tax protest and an act of tax evasion. I think its interesting that mainstream Republicans would use this action as a symbol for their movement. I wonder if theyll be so keen on freeing people from the burden of taxation when they get back in power!
