Tea Parties

Tea Parties refer to political protests and movements in the United States, notably around 2009-2010, where citizens expressed their opposition to government policies seen as excessive or overreach, particularly regarding taxation and spending. Named after the historical Boston Tea Party of 1773, modern Tea Parties involved rallies, activism, and calls for limited government, fiscal conservatism, and increased personal freedoms. Participants typically advocated for reduced government intervention in the economy, lower taxes, and greater individual responsibility, reflecting a conservative reaction to economic and political developments at the time.
