Why did the Tea Party name itself in honor of people who destroyed private property while protesting a tax cut?

The Tax Act reduced the price of tea for Americans. Following the Boston Tea Party, the colonial government imposed its own tax that significantly increased the cost of tea.

Furthermore, many of the nation’s Founding Fathers strongly criticized the act. Franklin, Adams, Washington, and others considered the event to be not only an unjustified attack against private property (for which the East India Company should receive compensation) -- they considered the Boston Tea Party to be treason.

“I cannot but wish & hope that…our General court will have shewn a Disposition to repair the Damage and make Compensation to the Company. – Benjamin Franklin

“This however is but an Attack upon Property…I think the Province, may pay for it.” “In monarchies the crime of treason and rebellion may admit of being pardoned or lightly punished, but the man who dares rebel against the laws of a republic ought to suffer death.” – John Adams.

“…employ the force of government against them at once.” – George Washington

    They needed a name that sounded anti tax. Nobody ever accused these conservatives of being especially brilliant when it comes to knowing history or understanding that today's taxes are actually far less than 50 years ago. They also have short attention spans, limited political understanding, and are easily influenced by conspiracy theories and right wing propaganda.
