This Thom Hartmann segment about the history of the Boston Tea Party and the spark that lit the movement is extraordinarily enlightening.

In particular, the East India Company sparked rebellion, since they were given so many exemptions, tax preferences and other breaks by the British government.

Watch the whole thing. It's fascinating.
