Tea Party

The Tea Party was a political movement in the United States that emerged around 2009, advocating for reduced government spending, lower taxes, and limited government intervention. It was driven by concerns that government growth and debt threatened individual freedoms and economic stability. Many Tea Party supporters were skeptical of increased government programs and called for fiscal responsibility. The movement influenced the Republican Party, pushing it toward more conservative policies. While not a formal political party, it played a significant role in shaping political debates and elections, emphasizing principles of fiscal conservatism and limited government.
