Michael Wolfensohn Hates American Dream, Cupcakes
"When Andrew DeMarchis and Kevin Graff, two 13-year-olds from Chappaqua's Seven Bridges Middle School, set up shop at Gedney Park on a fall weekend last month, they were expecting a tidy profit. Instead, the two wannabe entrepreneurs selling cupcakes, cookies, brownies and Rice Krispie treats baked by them for $1 apiece got a taste of cold, hard bureaucracy. New Castle Councilman Michael Wolfensohn came upon the sale and called the cops on the kids for operating without a license."

Ha ha, yes, there's certainly no reason to regulate food sales. Remember, you can't catch salmonella from food cooked by 13-year-olds!
Yes, of all the things in this world to be terrified of, a tween selling cookies is right up there.
In the private town in my mind, they'd be fined for using the word "entrepreneur."
In the private town in my mind, "Entrepreneur" is the name of those little cakes in the back of the aisle.
Mmm … the ones you can peel the icing right off in a sheet? Now THAT'S good baking!
A simple tasing is a better deterrent.
I read this as "tasting" and realize that could work, too.
Many cookbooks suggest mace.
Well, at least they didn't get tazed, right? See, we still live in a free country.
You have to be at least sixteen to be considered a "bro".
But this holiday season, be sure to pick up Tiny Tazin' from Fisher Price. (Hannukah comes early this year!)
in case anyone wants to drop this douche bag an e-mail

Write a letter about Councilman Douchebag. Maybe it will make you feel better. But petty minded bureaucrats aren't the biggest problem. Broke states and municipalities are raising sales taxes and going after lemonade stands run by kids because companies such as Amazon aren't paying state sales taxes. (Among other screwed up tax realities.)
The fat bastard tried to shake them down for the cupcakes, when they refused he turned them in.
