Mladen,
Actually the Boston Tea Party happened for the opposite reason. The tea on the ships was of LOWER price because it was not taxed. The 'patriots' owned tons of tea stored in warehouses that they could only sell at a profit with higher prices than what was on the ship. So they destroyed the competition's tea. As Samuel Johnson said "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." They wrapped patriotism around their actions and history bought off on it.

Well, once upon a time there was an event called Boston Tea Party
which dealt with too expensive product of low quality delivered by
a monopoly. I wonder whether we can expect Seattle Windows Party?
Would that be too cruel to the fish in Seattle harbor?
