"Although schoolchildren are usually taught that the American
Revolution was a rebellion against "taxation without representation," akin to
modern day conservative taxpayer revolts, in fact what led to the revolution
was rage against a transnational corporation that, by the 1760s, dominated
trade from China to India to the Caribbean, and controlled nearly all commerce
to and from North America, with subsidies (government bailouts) and special dispensation (tax breaks) from the
British crown."
