might be that the more onerous a taxation system, the more likely society will implode.

the stamp act, the townshend act, the boston tea party, etc...

The Boston Tea Party was because the British made tea cheaper which undercut tea smugglers.

If anything, product dumping (which happened to improve the lives of tea consumers, but hurt smugglers) was the motivation, not taxation. In that case.
