Original Note:
The unrest over the taxation of tea in 1776 is because the tax was imposed on (then) British colonies, whose people did not have the right to vote on those taxes ("No Taxation without Representation"). This does not apply to taxation of US people by their elected governments. https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/boston-tea-party#why-did-the-boston-tea-party-happen
