Cops Shut Down 8 Year Old Girl’s Lemonade Stand for Not Having Permit

This is what happens when you let the government run your life. Everything becomes illegal, even selling lemonade without the government’s permission. Our biggest threat is not terrorism, it is the tyranny here at home. It is the domestic bureaucracy that makes being a real American entrepreneur impossible.

According to Yahoo News, Andria Green and her sister, both under the age of ten, had their lemonade stand shut down by police on Monday.

“Sisters who set up a lemonade stand to fund a Father’s Day gift on Monday were shut down by the police due to a lack of permit.

Andria Green, 8, and her sister Zoey, 7, set up the lemonade stand to raise the $105 they needed for tickets to the Texas waterpark Splash Kingdom. They were selling lemonade for 50 cents and kettle corn for one dollar on their street in the town of Overton, but about an hour after opening, police showed up and told the girls they needed a permit to sell the lemonade. Police agreed to waive the fee of the permit, which normally would cost $150. “The officer told them they had to go to city hall to get a permit,” Overton Police Chief Clyde Carter tells Yahoo Parenting. “Then the city told them they had to check with the health department, which they didn’t do.”

If some kids can’t sell lemonade to raise money for a father’s day gift in America, then why are we fighting wars overseas to protect the freedom we don’t have?
