I don’t believe there’s a bad reason for a tax cut, it is after all my money.

My only complaint about the poll, is I couldn’t find the place where I could change my font to size 337,209, to respond “NO!”

I wish I could say “unbelievable” but sadly it’s not.

Oh great. This will just increase the number of alien cats sneaking across the border to have anchor litters with full access to our health care system.

No, You get more of a tax break taking good care of your pets than you do for sending your kids to a good private school!

McCotter from Mich.

Representative Thaddeus McCotter, a fourth-term Republican from Livonia MI, has introduced the HAPPY Act—the Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years Act. It is HR 3501, and it was introduced on July 31.

I am never normally opposed to tax cuts no matter when or where, but this is insane. I would much prefer they cut the taxes the veterinarian pays. Then he could lower or keep down costs and fees. I have a bunch of pet cockatiels and a typical vet. visit costs $120 or more.

"So, let me get this straight...I get more of a tax break taking good care of my pets than I do for my children?"

If you really want to get it straight, it goes like this:

You are being paid a wage to serve your pets, to whom you belong, since they have more right to exist than you do.

You are being given a stipend to reimburse you for the food you provide to your children, who are really wards of The State.

Got it?

Yep, no such thing as a BAD tax cut. Doesn’t matter what the reason. Our oldest dog is a lab/shepherd mix; he weighs around 110 pounds. The dog can flat eat - almost as much as any of our three boys did when younger. They’ve all grown up and left home, no more deductions, so we would welcome being allowed to use the two dogs. To be honest, I’ve seriously thought about doing it in the past if Dear Leader would loan me a couple of those SSN’s he’s used in the past.

And meanwhile babies are being killed everyday through abortion.

Stupid poll, but IMHO...Cut all taxes, I don't care what you want to label it. Any time this current administration gets less money at their disposal to waste, I'm all for it.

They'll end up taxing you for single payer pet health care in the long run anyway. confused smileys
