Halloween is supposed to be about candy, jack-o’-lanterns and awkward costume parties, but for one unidentified homeowner, who recently wrote a letter to Slate‘s advice columnist Prudence, Halloween is about complaining that they have to hand out candy to poor kids.

At the beginning of the letter, the homeowner notes that they live in a rich neighborhood, but not in the richest part of it. “A few blocks away are billionaires, families with famous last names, media moguls,” the person writes.

Despite these creature comforts, the person has a beef with Halloween.  “I have noticed that on Halloween, what seems like 75 percent of the trick-or-treaters are clearly not from this neighborhood,” the person writes. “Kids arrive in overflowing cars from less fortunate areas.”

“I feel this is inappropriate,” he or she adds.

According to the homeowner, they already support social services by paying taxes.

“Halloween isn’t a social service or a charity in which I have to buy candy for less fortunate children,” the individual argues.

Although this person admits that thinking this way “makes [them] feel like a terrible person,” she asks Prudence whether less-fortunate children should be able to go searching for candy in the richer neighborhoods.

In response, Prudence writes that in the neighborhood she used to live in, people would spend extra money to ensure that they had enough candy to hand out to the less-fortunate kids.

“Your whine makes me kind of wish that people from the actual poor side of town come this year not with scary costumes but with real pitchforks,” Prudence wrote.
