text: The Second Revolution flag is another Tea Party symbol that has become synonymous with Tea Party causes and events .
simplified: The name `` Tea Party '' comes from the Boston Tea Party , a protest by colonists who objected to a British tax on tea in 1773 and demonstrated by dumping British tea taken from docked ships into the harbor . Some say that the Tea in `` Tea Party '' also stands for `` Taxed Enough Already '' .
