Anti-tax protests modelled on the Boston tea party staged across the United States.
Anti-tax protests modelled on the Boston Tea Party were staged across America as Republicans sought to stir action against President Obama's spending policies. The demonstrations were modelled on the 1773 revolt against British colonial taxes, when cases of tea were tipped into Boston harbour.
