PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A popular Philadelphia chocolate maker and candy store has been shuttered by the city days before Easter. WPVI-TV (http://bit.ly/1l42Hhe) said Wednesday the Department of Revenue revoked the business license of the Blasius Chocolate Factory in the city's Kensington neighborhood. The small company has been hand-making chocolates since the 1920s. It's noted for its buttercreams and giant Easter eggs. City officials say the business was delinquent in paying taxes. The city says it sent numerous warnings. Owner Phillip Kerwick says he tried to negotiate his $12,000 tax bill but city officials didn't appear for the court hearing. He says he's being harassed by city revenue officials.

And how did that strategy work out for him?
That's why I never show up when indicted.
The 1776 Boston Tea Partiers didn’t agree.
In a thoroughly-corrupted neo-Soviet system that we have become?
As expected.

Yeah, well, that’s the way it goes. Choose your work & place of business carefully. Also, be careful where you make large purchases....taxes vary from city to city.
Now that is the real story.
ping!
For some odd reason summary judgment is not used as often as it used to be. I hear about court cases all the time where one party doesn’t show up and the court just changes the date. The cases I know about are mostly divorces but some drag on forever because one side just doesn’t show up and the court reschedules. Maybe it is just happening here, but I remember when not showing up meant you lost.
Please....what?!?!?!
How many examples do you need...............
You know that the toothbrush had to have been invented in Kensington. If it were invented anywhere else, it would have been called the Teethbrush.
Oh, I’m sorry. I was quoting the esteemed Senator Harry Reid.
Harry Reid: “We cant have, in America, people that violate the law and just walk away from it.” He said that in regard to Mr. Cliven Bundy’s standoff against the BLM.
