California city shuts down girl's lemonade stand

McClatchy reports:
Eight-year-old Daniela Earnest has made lemonade out of lemons in more ways than one this week.

Hoping to raise money for a family trip to Disneyland, the Tulare girl opened a lemonade stand Monday. But because Daniela didn't have a business license, the city of Tulare shut it down the same day.
The government that's big enough to give you free health care is big enough to tell you whether you can have a lemonade stand.
