Son's of Liberty. They were formed by Adams who was one of the biggest smugglers in the colonies. The British LOWERED the tea tax which made the smuggled Dutch tea higher in price than the English. The smugglers were protecting their business and income when they threw the tea in the harbor.

leads to a higher standard of living
Actually, the " colonist" didn't think that. It was a small group of men who were protecting their own economic interest. The British had LOWERED the tax on tea and this made the price of the tea smuggled into the colonies higher than the British. The smugglers were upset and two of the biggest smugglers in the colonies were Hamilton and Hancock. Hancock was very wealthy and he funded/supported the Son's of Liberty. Without him there would have been no Sam Adams nor the Son's of Liberty, but the whole purpose was to protect his economic interests. The people in the colonies paid LESS taxes than people in England paid.
