The Boston Tea party got started because of a tax cut from the British Empire. It was a whole different bunch declaring war than what people are lead to believe.

Yeah, you need the wealthy with time and resources to be on your side or else you are just the peasants revolting which they all already think we are.

No, you need crime. The tax cut would have affected the tea smuggling profits.

Yeah. The smugglers were making bank though.
Its kinda the rule that the government is filled with old mafia once they realize they can make a lot of money being the government.

So I guess in this case we need the companies that are acting as mafia to want the change. Which brings us back to the wealthy.
