The Boston Tea Party was in opposition to the tax levied on tea by the British Crown.

There was no tax. You are thinking of the Stamp Act. The EIC was granted a monopoly in the tea trade in the colonies. And it was well-known how the EIC did things in India and the other places it operated.

I find it pretty strange you think the Founders didn't envision anyone but the Crown creating them;

It is strange because that isn't what I posted. The topic on the table was large trans-nationals. The type that can dominate entire countries and rival governments. The EIC had the power they did because The Crown granted them that power.

Again, your ignorance of history is astounding.
