The Tea Party is an American political movement that calls for lower taxes, reduced government spending and limits on the powers of the federal government. Its roots began with a boycott of Great Britain's tea tax in 1773 and continued today as an influential force in conservative politics at the national level. Some elements of the movement align themselves with libertarianism, Christian conservatism or constitutionalism. The movement had success in numerous elections including taking control of local governments and pushing through state legislatures Tea Party-backed initiatives such as limits on taxes, government spending and public unions.
