. What most people don't know about the Boston Tea Party is why exactly it happened - what the colonists were actually protesting against. It wasn't just against the King, or taxation without representation, or a fight for freedom. It was a protest against corporate control over the North American economy. It came after the British Parliament - who were mostly shareholders in the British East India Company - gave the largest corporate tax break in the history of the world to the world's then-largest corporation, the East India Company
Which brings us to today - when tens of thousands of Americans across the nation have taken to the streets to once again protest against too much corporate power and corporate corruption of our government. They're protesting against massive tax breaks for job outsourcers, tax subsidies for insanely profitable oil corporations, and bailouts for Wall Street banksters. And in the irony of all ironies - it just so happens that the most corrupt of our politicians today - the most in-the-bag for the big corporations - are calling themselves Tea Partiers.

Typical. Blame everyone else for your problems. Why can't people take personal responsibility anymore?

The Tea Party is going to enlarge the government. You already had members voting for the NDAA and CISPA and to give tax money to the Koch brothers. A vote for the Tea Party is a vote for more tyranny and crony capitalism.
Of the Republicans 47 of the 66 members of the House Tea Party Caucus also supported the bill.

John McCain says you should know that Ted Cruz is not everywhere Palin has gone.

I don't think that people get the fact that the Tea Party is NOT a political party, but a political movement.
It's more than an ideology. It's a belief system that transcends political party ideology.
