I don't even bother because of the trash which gets dumped off to trick or treat the neighborhood. Most of my neighbors are of the same mind.
RACIST? Oh yeah, my black neighbors are racists. All of them. They can't believe it themselves. I have been asked - "Where do these kids come from?" I shrug and tell them I have seen it for years.
Why not go to Walmart, spend $20 on candy and give it to your kids rather than schlep them around to neighborhoods better than your own so they can panhandle candy from nice people? What kind of values does this teach kids?
Let's go where the well to do people are and take theirs?
Calling little kids "trash"? Typical cancerous right-winger. You really expect me to believe a person such as yourself speaks to his black neighbors? Haha, good one.
I think kids should only go around in their own neighborhoods. They shouldn't just go to places where they think "rich" people live. Realistically though, there is no way to tell where a kid is from and nothing to stop them from lying so it's not like anything can be done about this.

Some people live in neighborhoods were not everyone is giving out candy--or you have a lot of apartments or something else. Where I live now there's areas where a lot of the homeowners just shut their lights off on Halloween(indicating obviously that they're not participating).. Sometimes you have to go out to the suburban areas with lots of families were everyone takes trick or treating seriously(you can tell when you're in a good area when there's big Halloween displays up). So, it's not as if every kid really has good options for trick or treating where they live.
Anything for the rich to keep their foot on the neck of the less fortunate, I guess.
What's really sad, is I can already picture so many tight wad asshats telling little kids to their face to take a hike because they don't "belong", and making damned sure they know that's the reason why.
Omg, why would this bug you and what does this have to do with taxes. Who cares where the kids come from. It's halloween so let them have fun. It's just candy you are giving away. What is the big deal.
I know how many kids live in my neighborhood and plan accordingly. The problem is the 15 year old hood rats with no costume who bang on your door and demand candy.
keep one bowl of Snickers and Kit-Kat bars for the neighborhood trick-or-treaters, and another bowl full of cheap circus peanuts for the poor, out-of-town kids.
Nah, my plan is to check the 'Best by' expiration date codes on the candy and make sure the rich kids get the freshest ones.
Trouble is, how we gonna know which kid is the poorest if they're all wearing disguises.
Crap, there goes my plans.
