Tea is un-American -- heck plenty of it comes from China, just like CoC $$$ |
|
I suppose they couldn't very well run around with coffee beans on their hats but still...
How much of the world's tea is grown in the USA ? Seems like foreign companies make money on tea -- British and Chinese -- maybe we should boycott tea for about the next 4 weeks.
(I know it is just a symbol, but it's THEIR symbol and it really ties in the foreign money thing.)

5. How is tea un-American? |
|
It was taxes on tea that help start the American revolution. During colonial times, most Americans drank tea every day hence the anger about GB increasing their tea tax. Tea is part of our history. And many of us, do still drink it every day. So keep your hands off my tea.
