Another example of Nanny Statism via The Reb comes our newest winner of the Marxist Moron Award!
A politician in a New York suburb called police on two 13-year-old boys for selling cupcakes and other baked goods without a permit, according to a report Monday. The Journal News in Westchester County said the boys, Andrew DeMarchis and Kevin Graff, had a brisk business selling cupcakes, cookies, brownies and Rice Krispie treats for $1 each in a Chappaqua park.
However, New Castle Councilman Michael Wolfensohn called the police after discovering the sale was not for charity, the newspaper said.
Kevin’s mother, Laura Graff, said the teens were “good kids” who were scared by the police call.
“I am shocked and sad for the boys. It was such a great idea, and they worked hard at it,” Laura Graff, Kevin’s mother, told The Journal News. “But then some Town Board member decided to get on his high horse and wreck their dreams.”‘

But, GatorD, they used trans fats, sugar, and even a little salt. They were making themselves rich off the backs of the poor. They were oppressing third world nations using Imperialism margarine. They should be tried for their crimes by the world court and go to jail.
Great comment!
That councilman definitely looks like a douche.
What have we just taught these kids? “Don’t even try to succeed in America” “Entrepreneurship is a waste of time.” “The government allows you to make money.”
WTF is wrong with these people? Are lemonade stands illegal too?
Excellent points!
Councilman douchenozzle should be shot in the neck with a high-powered pellet gun.
An interesting choice sir
