Tea Party Caucus

The Tea Party Caucus is a group of people who like to drink tea and also have strong feelings about how the government should work. They are like a club that only lets in people who share their ideas.

Some of the things that they believe in are making the government smaller, which means letting people make more decisions for themselves and having fewer rules from the government. They also want to lower taxes, which means people get to keep more of the money they earn instead of giving it to the government.

In the United States, the Tea Party Caucus is made up mostly of Republicans who want the government to be more conservative. They work together to try to make changes that they think are important, like cutting spending and protecting individual freedoms.
