I'd rather she pay Tony Soprano's goons a protection fee than our wonderful government. At least he doesn't require you to front for a permit first like the government does. Tell me who runs the bigger racket? I don't think organized crime comes near to destroying many legitimate business as much as the hand of our caring government does.

Well, I can see requiring permits for running a building-demolition business, or a chemical-disposal business. But lemonade? What, do they think she's a threat to spread botulism?

They would have at least taken care of the neighbor. ;-)
