Happy Anniversary to one of the actions which directly helped to spark the American Revolution. The Boston Tea Party took place on December 16th, 1773. 234 years ago. On May 10th, 1773, the Parliament of Great Britain passed the Tea Act, a 2% tax on tea sold in the colonies.

No taxation without representation. What a joke.
