You site that other people, who may not have a pet, are being forced to pay for the upkeep of others pets. While I can agree with that comment, it parallels the present day welfare dilemma. We feed, clothe, educate, and provide medical care to many who like Fido are about as useful as Fido.

Had Enough,

I assume you are directing bone head comment at McCotter and not me.

You should be more concerned why companies like Franklin Hills Country Club knowingly have illegal aliens, evade paying taxes, and tax fraud. Leave Fido alone and lets enforce the current laws bone head….

[...] couldn’t agree more and said so back in August when McCotter first proposed his voter-pandering bill: How out of touch with reality [...]

Max,

The greatness of a society is even better judged by how it treats its people.

Every dollar you give to an animal is a dollar that could have been given to a child.

Priorities.

For the millions of people facing the awful thought of abandoning their companion animals or surrendering them to a shelter where they will probably be killed because they cannot afford veterinary care, this is no joke. As Gandhi said, “The greatness of its society and its moral progress can be judged by how it treats its animals.”

Sue,

I’ve been called many things in my life but never a liberal. Read my blog a little more closely and you’ll see how absurd that is.

Thaddeus McCotter may be a Republican, but he’s done some birdbrain things before and this pet care tax break is just the latest. We have more important things to address than funding Fluffy’s catnip.

By the way, when you give a tax break to one segment of society (pet owners, in this case) you are, by definition, forcing other segments (non pet owners) to fund it.

I just love how ignorant liberals spin everything around into something it’s not. “I love my dog Bella. I’d do anything for her except make other people pay for her care.” The Happy Act would not make other people pay for your dogs care. In a horrible econcomy a tax right off of any kind is what people need. The majority of Americans own a pet, so this would benefit tons of people of all income levels. If he had proposed a way to keep up all the pathetic drains on society who are perfectly able to work, but don’t even try to get a job because they’re too lazy you would be all over it like flies on a dead body.

I didn’t realize the unemployment rate in Michigan had been lowered to an acceptable level. But apparently McCotter thinks 16% unemployment is OK.

Did you know that if you rearrange the letters in the name “Thadeus McCotter” you can also spell the word “BONEHEAD LOSER”?

I hope the HAPPY ACT is another one of McCotter’s sick jokes.
