Regulations that limit Food Truck operations are a protectionist scam.

John Stossel writes:

Laura Pekarik bakes cupcakes and sells them from a Food Truck. Her truck provided a great opportunity, letting her open a business without having to spend big to hire a staff and rent space in a building.

"Instead of renting a whole brick and mortar and managing a team of people, it was just me and one baker," she explains.

But increased regulations, such as new rules that forbid trucks to park near established restaurants, make life hard for people like Pekarik.

"It became ever more difficult to find parking locations when we went to the city (Chicago) to try to sell our cupcakes," she says. "I would have customers calling me trying to find us and I was like, I'm trying to find a parking spot! I'll post as soon as I land."
