Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Tea Party movement in the United States is a loose collection of activists who support conservative Republican ideas, such as limited government and lower taxes. While there are some Tea Party-affiliated politicians who have run as third-party candidates, the movement itself is not a viable third party. Moreover, while the Tea Party has strong ideological commitments, it is not yet clear what its core theoretical underpinnings are beyond a general distrust of government and a desire for lower taxes. Finally, while the Tea Party does support a flat tax for some members, it is not the only issue that unites the movement, and there are plenty of Tea Party supporters who do not prioritize tax reform.
