I'm amazed the guy reached the age of 54 thinking that everything should go his way. Also, by going public with his story, he's encouraging people to to low-ball on bids for the cart.

I'm amazed the guy reached the age of 54 and didn't realize selling goods to consumers in public was considered a business and would be taxed accordingly. Did he just wake up one day and say, "Hey, I wanna be an ice cream tricycle person!!! Yeahhh!!!"

These days there are so many local, state and federal pinheads demanding forms and taxes for anything, it is strangling business. I know many people, including myself that are not taking their businesses further due to having no desire spend our days answering to pinheads.
