Congress.org: Should Dogs Be Tax Deductible?

CITIZEN LEGISLATOR: Dogs (and Other Pets) Should be Tax Deductible Like Any Dependent
This week a citizen like you from Bayport, NY wrote to Congress to propose that dogs be tax deductible like children or any other dependent. Read their proposal. Do you think Congress should introduce a law to make pet costs tax deductible? Tell Congress. Preliminary results are 49% in favor of making pets tax deductible like dependents. One person says it will make us treat them better. Someone else replied that once they evolve to being potential taxpayers then maybe we can reconsider. One citizen told Congress pets are a choice like children and cost nearly as much. But one person opposed felt that some would get more dogs just for the tax break…like some do with children.
Uh, yeah, because that tax breaks you get for having kids more than covers their health care, food, clothing, edumakation, and housing, with oodles left over for all those welfare mommas to spend on crack. Not.
Anywho, click here to explain to your good Congressheeple why pets companion animals should, in fact, be tax deductible counted as dependents. Particularly if you’re involved in animal rescue and/or are a guardian to rescued animals. If you go this route, be sure to mention the government’s gross incompetence in caring for the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina, not to mention the ongoing problems in the area. Someone’s gotta untangle their clusterfuck, no?
