Gov. shuts down a 7yr olds lemonade stand

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/08/06/ap/strange/main6748628.shtml

Are you kidding me???? Because she didnt get a temporary restaurant lisence?!?!?!

What has this country come to....

 

hahahaha omg this shit is so fucked up that its funny. Really?? Really a 7 year old needs to go get a temp liscence hahaha

 

thats some bullcrap

 

w....t......f........

 

according to the story it sounds like the community rallied and stuck up for the little girl.

It also says state law is that you need a permit even in front of your house... what the hell happened to america this is too much...

 

It makes sense since she was at the fair. Everyone else there probably had a license...
You don't go to a big event like that and peddle stuff.

Any other weekend there wouldn't be a problem doing it in front of her house b/c there won't be an inspector wandering around your neighborhood.

 

WTF is this world coming to?...............

 

for what it's worth...

we'd rather not have you serve with us

 

even if i paid $500 for a permit to sell hot dogs or hamburgers i wouldnt begrudge a 7yr old selling lemonade for 50c a glass... even if she didnt fork over the 120$ permit. shes 7. she would have to sell 240 glasses just to pay for the permit and then more to actually make a profit...

Does it suck? Yes. But rules is rules especially if there's people that are there as a source of actual income. Definetly sad however.

 

FWIW you dont need a permit to sell drinks in communist vietnam... pretty sad the US is becoming this heavily regulated....

you assume a risk when buying street vendor food. Why is the gov allowed to control it? dont eat there if your scared. the permit is B/S it doesnt guarantee the food is safe. Its another way for the gov to snick their nose where it doesnt belong...

 

ummm the gov shut down a lemonade stand.... i thought it was politics. the fact is that the gov is so over the top... tax dollars going to pay inspectors who shut down our kids lemonade stands...

when people just sit back and dont do anything or say anything its pathetic.

 

Lame.

 

I say we round all the little kids up who are screwing the taxpayers by not paying taxes on their lemonade stands and shoot them.....hell there is at least one of us who wouldn't defend against that action!
