If American colonists could have foreseen future events in America, they would have understood and sympathized with the complaint many Americans have against propping up GM and the banking industry. Prior to America's revolution, the British East India Company was simply known as the Company. The heavy tax on tea in the colonies helped support this merchant company, and this lead to events in the American colonies.
Critics of the Tea Party Movement, and supporters of the Stimulus Plan, argue that taxpayers today have representation from their elected representatives. We argue how so? If U.S. Reps. are indebted to their party and to lobbyists, where the heck does the taxpayer come in? How is that fair representation of the American citizen taxpayer? This fact alone makes current conditions taxation without representation.
Critics of today's Tea Parties highly resent the use of the Boston-Tea Party as an analogy. This is due to the success on-line,on the ground, and how true these Tea Party events relate to burdensome taxes that exist and continue to mount from our spending representatives.
