The name "Tea Party" is a indication to the Boston Tea Party, a protest that objected to a British tax on tea in 1773. The tea party does not have a leader or a plan it endorses reduced government spending lower taxes. The group is made of local groups that make their own platform and plans. People say bush and Obama is the reason for the party. Because the Tea Party's national figures Dick Armey and Sarah Palin, nearly all Tea Party candidates have run as Republicans, and almost 80% of Tea Partiers consider themselves to be Republican. Yet the "movement" is not a new political group, but simply a marketing tool for traditional Republican candidates and policies.

The tea party has a big influence on our government and how it works. They can’t elect people per say but they have pretty good pull in that area. Sara Palin’s one of the main supports. It launched its tour, as it has in the past, with her appearance. Why is this problem? She helps put who they want in office so they can keep control, they care about the rich whites rather that making the world a better place.

Take a close look at whose taxes they want to lower. If you fall under the category of rich love them. They could care less about the lower class. Along as they make their money they will fight to keep it. Even at the expense
In just the last year, the Tea Party movement has become a driving force in American politics. From debates over healthcare and federal stimulus spending to voter mobilization for the midterm elections, Tea Party groups have not been shy about showing their anger at the state of government. Still, as a movement with a growing number of community organizers speaking with many voices, much of the country is left wondering: What is the Tea Party movement really all about?
