[quote=CONCHO]It’s worth remembering that the American Revolution was, in part, a revolution against corporate power. What was the famous Boston Tea Party about? Parliament had granted the powerful East India Company a license to sell tea directly to colonial agents, cutting American merchants out of the valuable tea trade. The Boston Tea Party was organized in response to this unfair collusion between a corrupt government and a powerful corporation.
