Ever on the cutting edge of political thought, Fox & Friends has a simple, commonsense reply to Pres. Obama's insane notion that a modern economy depends on a combination of public and private investment: Oh, yeah? Mr. Big Government? What about little kids' lemonade stands,
For a real lesson in modern jerb-creatin' capitalism, they'd need to have Bain take over their business, borrow a pile of money using the lemons, table, etc. as collateral, and pocket 1/3 of the proceeds for "fees". Then the girls watch their pension plan get pillaged, then their lemon and sugar suppliers refuse to deliver because Bain breached the contracts, then they get laid off and the whole thing is put into bankruptcy, and after years of litigation their parents/investors get five cents on the dollar. Then a Chinese importer of powdered lemonade mix does a reverse-merger into the remaining shell corporation (advised by Bain Capital.) And finally, Faux News will most assuredly not want to interview them, which is fine, because they'll be very happy to make an adorable ad for the Obama campaign.

you know what else would be funny? if those beautiful blonder girls down the street opened a competing lemonade stand but ALSO offered sugar free orange pop for a cut-rate price and then waged an aggressive marketing campaign tacitly implying clara&#039;s lemonade was made with - well WHO KNOWS?!?! - and then no one bought clara and eliza&#039;s lemonade and the stock went bad and their glassware was repossessed and in order to reimburse their disgruntled investors clara and eliza had to sell all the barbie dolls and their painted bedroom furniture and forfeit their allowance with interest until december of 2014.
The cute little rascals didn&#039;t build the sidewalk, the school they go to, and the other infrastructure that allows them to become successful entrepreneurs. Which is what the President was talking about. But like Al Gore and the internet all that matters is what the sound bite is edited to imply. Dashboard Buddha is right, this country is fucked.
They have private sector business experience and are therefore more qualified to talk about the economy than rude ole Obama. If one of them can read a spreadsheet, I think Mitten&#039;s just found his running mate.

No, the kids are smarter than Kilmeade.
Inexpensive lemonade because the Federal government subsidizes the sugar industry.
Check.
Inexpensive lemons due to NAFTA.
Check.
Lemons relatively safe to eat - thanks to the FDA.
Check.
Nope. No gov&#039;t involvement here.
Meanwhile, rather than watch this crap I&#039;d prefer to listen to &quot; Let Me Squeeze Your Lemon&quot; by Charlie Pickett.
&quot;And then, I turned the empty lemon skins into bootstraps, and also satellite equipment, and then started FOX News!&quot;

that would be funny.
Didn&#039;t the &quot;investment&quot; in the lemonade stand cut into the family&#039;s Survival Seed Bank and GoldLine fund?
They are putting their futures at risk!
That&#039;s not a taste you get rid of easily, however.

Did they pull a permit to building that stand? Probably not, because mom and dad said permits are for pussies.
Because they&#039;re political props, just as Weasel Zipper&#039;s Bowels told him. <a href="http://weaselzippers.us/201..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://weaselzippers.us/2012/07/24/lefty-cesspool...">http://weaselzippers.us/201...
Kids are all welfare queens--always looking for free stuff and handouts.
somebody should send the IRS after them and make them cry.
