Need parallels between Boston Massacre and Wall St. Bailout?

The Quartering of British Soldiers in Colonial Homes at the Homeowner's cost is known to have contributed to the Boston Masacre. Then the Boston Masacre leads to the American Revolution, or is arguably the first battle of the Revoltion.

My thesis is that there is a parallel between King George forcing the Colonists to pay for an Army they did not want, to enforce taxation policies that were against thier interests is much the same as Washington forcing Tax Payers to bail out Banks who have practices that are against the interests of the Tax Payers.

I am writing of all the grassroots organizations and efforts that are building in the last few months in response to these bailouts for the purpose of bringing core system change in America.

Can anyone add to the detail please? Links to organizations or current data is much appreciated.

I am using the details that show

    There are the taxpayer revolt weirdos, but they always exist.

    My guess would be to look for all the folks setting up banking alternatives now. That would be the real revolt as we are now a global economy and so much of our tax money gets sent elsewhere.

    The underground economy and the alternative economies would be your best jump mark.
