Complaints about a kid selling lemonade

[wittmeba]

I guess some will complain about anything.

If I was driving through a neighborhood and saw kids outside as long as they are not making trouble I would think it was a safe place for kids. And anything that gets kids outside seems positive. Too much TV, Video Games, Cell Phone activities today.

Actually a cute story. That's right. Cute.

“When will this illegal nonsense ... stop?” Doug Wilkey wrote in reference to the lemonade stand in an email complaint to city officials on June 11 that was obtained by ABC News. “This is the value of the home that I have owned for 32 years getting ravaged! This is costing me thousands of dollars in home value & my taxes should be reduced accordingly!”

I had to think about this one for a while. I finally concluded that Doug Wilkey must be running a brothel out of his home.

"So, let me get this straight, Mr Wilkey, we have a neighborhood that's demonstrably safe enough that a young child isn't frightened to set up a lemonade stand and have money there... and this somehow 'ravages' the value of the properties in that neighborhood?"

Did the kid have the necessary permission from the Masters to conduct business?

I tend to go out of my way to encourage that entrepreneurial spirit in young ones and buy their crappy lemonade, especially in poorer neighborhoods.

Yes, what kind of piece of garbage uses the brutality of the state to ride roughshod over kids, in the name of his damned property value?

Bitter statist, who thinks the value of his property is more important than liberty. Who wants to wager on what institutions of the state he adores?

Why is he a statist? Because he values his property rights? Thats an assumption and a half.

Because he thinks it's the state's job to "preserve property values" (as though value isn't wholly subjective) by banning kids from selling lemonade.

And he uses the violent coercive force of the state for his wishes. No assumptions, logical conclusions.

+1 Under common law if he could prove the kid was causing him damage he would be forced to sue in civil court.

He's just trying a round-a-bout way to make them lower his property taxes

By trying but failing to tie his property value to the local kids lemonade/cookie stand!

Notice per the linked article, when he was asked by the cops he didn't have ANY complaint!:shocker:
