Be aware of these very dangerous situations and threats to our system!

One of our major cities, Boston, has suffered greatly in the past five years. Manufacturing jobs have recently moved to New York and New Hampshire. Unemployment has risen sharply, warehouses are empty, and every tenth person is homeless. This is obviously a major problem and an explosive situation is developing. Resentment for the elite, whose fortunes have risen dramatically while others have declined, has led to blame being placed on government officials. It appears that an effigy of an official has been hung in a tree as a threat, and a building owned by this official has been demolished by a group that calls itself the Loyal Nine. In addition, his home has been destroyed, furniture smashed, even the paneling has been removed and stolen. The official has been forced to resign his position.

Private property has been destroyed. This is an unacceptable situation. It has also been reported that a large global company that these demonstrators have grievances with has also been threatened. Cargo was brought into Boston and remains unloaded due to a strike by dockworkers. Several very wealthy supporters of the resistance have been attempting to get the company to remove the ships to no avail. Five thousand demonstrators have gathered to protest and have moved to destroy the cargo of this privately owned property!!! What right do these people have to destroy private property!? 

Sounds outrageous doesn't it? It is difficult to disguise the Stamp Act resistance and the Boston Tea Party. Imagine Bank of America headquarters being bombed and executives threatened...imagine demonstrators dumping barrels of oil into the water in Boston Harbor. Imagine Warren Buffet as John Hancock.

The real issue in these pivotal events leading to the American Revolution was not the tax, Stamp Tax, Tea Tax, any tax for that matter; the real issue was being taxed without being represented in the legislative body that imposed the tax..."No taxation without representation". The real issue that led to The Boston Tea Party was the monopoly granted to the East India Company, that the British Parliament was trying to keep from bankruptcy, to sell tea in North America not the tax. The tax had been dramatically decreased and British tea was much cheaper than any other tea. Colonials suspected that the Parliament was trying to trick them into abandoning the cry of no taxation without representation.
