If they ever did, I’m sure the board of ‘Cupcakes and Pastries Workers of America - Local 1’ took care of that.

Why are you putting yourself in the position of defending this twisted bureaucrat? There appears to be one on every thread.

"Why do parents put their kids in these positions, I'll never know."
I guess for the same reason I let/encouraged my daughter to sell lemonade on the sidewalk - because I was a crappy parent. What? Do you need a f**king government titanian bubble around you so you'll feel safe and can sleep at night? Need your own food taster to make sure you're never poisoned? Sheesh, lighten up.

Look...the kid is averaging $80 a week...x 52...is $4 grand. Hardly the same as your very temporary lemonade stand.
Who's paying taxes on this income?? It cannot be construed as a hobby. She's been doing it for 2 years.

No matter if dimes or dollars, they're both a homemade product.
"Who's paying taxes on this income?? It cannot be construed as a hobby. She's been doing it for 2 years."
Are you sure you're on the correct forum? You want to tax a little girl because she sells cupcakes for a profit, while donating some to charities? BTW, you can always contact our so benevolent IRS to report her if you think she should be paying her "fair share".
Do you really not see how ridiculous you look? I'm done - rant on.

You're absolutely right! Who are these subjects to try and teach their daughter counterrevolutionary and bourgeois topics like charity, responsibility, money management, and entrepreneurship instead of how to harvest the milk and honey of social welfare?
We need to make sure the government can dictate every little aspect of our lives, and create the most business crippling regulations, such that an 11 year old can't even sell homemade cupcakes or run a lemonade stand.
But, you may ask, "Are we certain the government has our best interest in mind?"
Sure you can trust the government, just ask an Ind......er wait, what?
Oh, apparently according to Indians (or at least those with Indian FR names) you can trust the government to always look out for you, nanny you, and make decisions for you in your best interest, whether you want them to or not - tis all good.

Government at ALL levels has become the enemy of the people.

The real problem here is that the government feels it has not received its fair share of oversight, licensing, regulation and taxation.
I'm starting to wonder how long my fellow citizens are going to continue putting up with this kind of trash.

Nobody paid tax on anything because whatever I earned had already been taxed once, twice or three times already.
Why do you care?
