A bunch of rich smugglers were mad the British seized their untaxed tea, and we’re selling it.
The smugglers had a small amount of tea, but we’re being undercut by legal tea. If they sold their tea, it would be the end of their business.
So the attacked the ship holding their seized tea so no one could buy it.
They then claimed it was for the benefit of colonists, and the colonist should clap because the smugglers were going to sell what they had at like 10x the price…
If this isn’t a parallel to trump fucking with ME oil to increase the price of American oil, can you please elaborate how?

Did you forget the part of the comment where you apologized for being wrong?
