We had it; it was called Occupy Wall Street.
The difference is, the Tea Party got backed by right-wing billionaire ghouls and took over the Republican Party, while OWS (being explicitly anti-corporate) got brutally suppressed by the owner class instead.
Ows was no where near as organized as the tea party was. Also the tea party was an actual attempt at a party and got involved in politics. While I supported ows it was mostly a protest movement.
