There had to be a Tea Party movement. The people could no longer depend on either party. They appear to have lost sight of what this country stands for. This climax has been decades in the making. It's about time!

Both parties have been corrupted by lobbyists for special interests and re-election donations from those who want favors, banks, unions, defense contractors, oil industry and the list goes on forever. This is the reason for term limits so the politicians can go to DC and serve the needs of the people instead of themselves.
The tea-party wants lower taxes...well for 98% of America taxes have gone down under Obama. Let's be honest, the Tea Party wants to "re-take America". In reality this means they just don't want a black man as president.
Otherwise, what are you retaking it from? It is a tax movement that comes up during the lowest taxes in a decade in which 47% of Americans don't pay federal income taxes.
Sure, it wouldn't be popular if they were out screaming to white power, but that's really all this is. Hell even McCain said he would like to talk to Tea Party members but he can't get definitive stances on many issues from them. Sure people are sweating, you would too if a mob of people wanted to lynch you.
Since January of 2009, President Obama and Congressional Democrats have enacted into law gross tax increases totaling more than $670 billion, or more than $2,100 for every man, woman and child in the United States. The list of tax increases includes at least 14 violations of the President’s pledge not to raise taxes on Americans earning less than $200,000 for singles and $250,000 for married couples.
"The 2009 economic stimulus bill actually reduced federal income taxes for tax year 2009 for 98 percent of all working families and individuals." This total includes the 95 percent of working families that will or have received tax credits in the range of $400 to $800.

"Obama passed 25 separate tax cuts," Sheryl Stein, founding member of "The Other 95%" said in a statement announcing the group's plans, "including $300 billion in middle class tax cuts -- one of the largest in history - as part of the stimulus package. Unlike President Bush's 2001 tax cuts, which went to the wealthiest 2.2%, President Obama's tax cuts overwhelmingly benefit working and middle class families -- in fact, 95% of all Americans."
While President Barack Obama is proposing to cut some taxes for companies that hire workers, his budget would raise a host of other taxes on businesses and wealthy individuals.
Undoing the craptastic tax ideas by Bush is what he is doing.
