Taxes = serious business. LMAO

[jumperstop]

Were they weed pancakes?

[diegosooner]

A permit to sell things in the park costs $150 to $350 for two hours and a $1 million insurance certificate is also required, the paper said.

overregulation.

[virginiasooner]

But if they did it in front of their home, would they have gotten into trouble? Doubtful. Obviously, the kids did their research -- they chose a high volume area. I understand why the regs are there, but I don't think it's overregulation.

Geez, I sold my neighbor a used golf club in the street last night...should I expect the IRS or the State of Okie to knock on my door anytime soon?

Geez.

Geez.

If by used golf club you mean black tar heroin, then yes.

[NormanPride]

Harsh lesson in reality, kids. And one cried the whole way home? Oh dear.

Geez.

Depends on how much you sold it for.

[OUthunder]

Depends on how much you sold it for.

Umm, $5. :D

[rekamrettuB]

Umm, $5. :D

If you paid less than $5 for it then yes...you should pay income taxes on it.

Now I know nobody actually does stuff like this, myself included, but the letter of the law says you should. Also, since you don't hold a sales tax permit the person that purchased the club should remit the sales tax to the State of Oklahoma.

Let's see... The parents gave money to the boys after that money had it's "fair share" of federal and state income taxes. They then paid sales tax on the raw ingridents they purchased. Then some poor sap paid $1 (again money earned after taxes) for the cupcakes and the government still wants more.

Crushing the dreams of the young. There's nothing like it. :D

Note to self: Always tell kids to remember that their lemonade stand is supporting a charity. Even if that charity is their college fund.

[soonerscuba]

I fail to see how not letting people run an unlicensed for-profit business on public land is evidence of a crushing federal bureaucracy.

Know who else kept businesses down and hated kids? Stalin.

[GrapevineSooner]

Lenin, too.

And Marx. Don't forget about him.

Glenn Beck will connect the dots tomorrow.
