The Story: Two official from the Idaho State Tax Commission forced two children, ages 4 and 6, to close a stand in front of their home they were using to sell pumpkins. The kids were selling the pumpkins to raise money for school sports, but the IRS didn’t care. All they saw as a violation of Federal law.
The IRS Shuts Them Down: An anonymous tax official said that roadside stands must obtain proper permits in order to business in Idaho. According to the IRS, the 4 and 6 year old kids must charge customers sales tax and forward that cash to the state.
What’s Next, Lemonade Stands? Actually, government authorities have closed down lemonade stands before. But there is a silver lining, she did receive an apology from the county.
Really, don’t tax authorities have better things to do than shut down kid’s pumpkin stands? If they were looking for good PR, this isn’t the way to get it...
Yeah, maybe these tax men could go and talk to Kerry,Rangel,Sharpton and many more..I think they would collect more money from them..Not likely they just pick on lttle kids..
How did the IRS find out about the front yard pumpkin stand? Did a neighbor call the IRS and report them? That’s creepy.
Amazing facts that we are truly divided into the Ruling Class Elites and The Country Class who have separate rules, laws and standards that the Country Class members must meet to the letter of face fine or imprisonment, or the Elites who have the Media, other Ruling Class type political people and appointed Government bureaucrats who allow them to live under separate rules.
Cold Cash Jefferson, Kerry, Pelosi, Reid, Rangels, Waters, etc. all are prime examples of how there are truly different rules for different people.
