In the late 1700s, the British colonies in America were getting fed up 
of the King of England raising taxes without letting them have a voice 
in Parliament, so they decided to rebel against the King and declare 
their independence.

One of the first incident of the American revolution was the "Boston Tea 
Party" where tea growers decided to punish the king by dumping all the 
tea bound for England into the harbor.  There! Neener! Neener!  No you 
can't have tea. Not yours!

Flash forward 240 years.

Groups of people angry about the rising taxes on the working class and 
the runaway government deficit decided to form a protest movement called 
"Taxed Enough Already" or T.E.A. for short.  Thus were formed the modern 
day Tea Parties.

Nevermind the fact that taxes on the working class had been going down 
for a few years, that these people were mysteriously very silent while 
the previous president was spending money he didn't have playing war 
games all over the world and that these people - who were for the most 
part very angry at having an uppity negro in the White House - were 
being lied to by millionaires and talk show hosts who were trying to get 
the government to ease restrictions on their investments.
