I'm sorry, but the point of the tea parties was that there was no taxation WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Unless you were deprived of your right to vote somehow, there really isn't an appropriate analogy to the Boston Tea Party.

Um no, that wasn't what the Boston Tea Party was really about. In fact, the tea was cheaper with tax than the tea that was smuggled in.
