Goin' to a party

All this talk of tea parties on tax day keeps reminding me of this song by the SAHB.



The king has said he's gonna put a tax on tea
And that's the reason you Americans drink coffee


Just like Alex & Co. these protesters are getting their history wrong. The Tea Act lifted the tax on tea. But the tea partiers in 2009 are also protesting a net tax reduction, so there's an equivalency somewhere.
