I can not believe that in the Land of Liberty and Capitalism a business model is condemned because is successful, the complain of Restaurant owners it is not valid for me and the strategy to try to make these businesses illegal, for me this is the case if Airlines starts to complain about trains and buses, there are different target markets,… if Restaurant owners are interested to compite against taco truck owners they would take the same strategy like new low cost airlines made it, as EasyJet owner said when he started his project : I am not trying to compite with other airlines, I am trying to compite with bus, train and own car,..” that is the spirit of competition, one of fundamental of American Way of Life, not this legal artificial actions taken form a third world protectionist models,…

I am an owner of a taco restaurant. Started 20 years ago with a catering truck myself. After complaints of local restaurants, doing everything they could to take me out of business, because i was killing their business, they succeeded and i was forced to shut down. I then opened a restaurant shortly thereafter. Have been very successful, and now i understand why the local business owners (restaurants) were in my case! I as a restaurant owner, have taco trucks all around me! They don’t pay workers compensation insurance, business insurance, sales tax, rent, utility bills, dealing with health department and other regulatory departments etc.. And they sale their food at the same price as i do! It’s very unfair! I believe that if they had the same monetary obligations, it would be fair game, but they don’t! I say that having have been on both sides of the coin! I SAY NO TO TACO TRUCKS!
