It's about taxation withought representation so it is very much so in resemblance historically

Well, not having representation was part of it (that was the rallying cry of the Sons of Liberty), but... you don't have a representative in Congress?


Why was tea the target? The East India Company was awarded exclusive rights to import tea (frustrating colonists who did this), and the contracts for tea for the Massacusetts Bay Colony were awarded to the British Governor's relatives.

So not only did the colonists not have a voting representative in parliment, parliment was awarding exclusive contracts to British companies (cutting out the colonists), and then the British companies were currying favor with the British Governor by giving his relatives exclusive contracts.

I like history.
