Teabaggers Beware! Thom Hartmann: TRUE history of the Boston Tea Party
A book written by a participant within the 1773 Boston Tea Party reveals that the American colonist revolt was against the British Crown CUTTING the tea tax (the Tea Act of 1773) as to benefit the transnational East India Company by undercutting the price that American businesses could smuggle and sell teas within the American colonies.
My sidebar:
Not only do the Koch Brothers inspired teabaggers incorporate an ionic American Revolutionary War flag that did not exist at the time of the 1773 Boston Tea Party as their party symbol (Gadsden Flag, designed during 1775), these Tea Party folks are ignorant as to why American colonists were actually protesting the British Tea Act of 1773.
