Weird, apparently 7% of children don't get to go trick-or-treating every year... that's .8% below the current unemployment rate in the US.
The thing is, trick-or-treating isn't only about how much candy you get at the end. It's also about the experience of dressing up and spending time with family and friends, going door to door and just having a good time. We could just deliver candy to the 7% of kids, but that wouldn't really solve anything, it would just avoid the real problem, which is figuring out why these kids aren't going out onto the streets and trick-or-treating. There are multiple theories that exist today, experts have broken them down into a few key theories, each with it's own rhetoric, and all of which severely conflict each other causing endless arguments.
 - The children's parents have far too much power, and won't allow them to go trick-or-treating, let alone leave the house. We should cut back on parent's responsibilities and powers, because kids should be allowed to eat as much candy as they want. Besides, the kids that are really good at trick-or-treating and get lots of candy will just trade and give out there candy to the others instead of hording it all (trickle-down-trick-or-treating).
- The children are lazy and inadequate, and choose not to go because they enjoy being rebellious and annoying, which means they don't deserve to be given any candy ever.
- The children's parents are all alcoholics, drug addicts, divorced, or all three, and it's too dangerous to go out at night in their neighborhoods. In order to get the kids out onto the streets the parents need to co-operate. They need to stop doing cocaine, binge drinking, and fighting in front of their children, they need to get stricter and clean up their life and educate themselves on good parenting skills. That will clean up the neighborhood. And then after all that is taken care of, the kids will be have the glorious opportunity to enjoy a little bit of candy every once and a while like everyone else!
So yea, that's trick-or-treatenomics.
