Call this one McCotterCare. A bill introduced Republican Congressman Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan would allow a tax deduction of up to $3,500 for your pet care expenses.
The Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years (“HAPPY”) Act would allow you to deduct “an amount equal to the qualified pet care expenses of the taxpayer during the taxable year for any qualified pet of the taxpayer.” The annual deduction would be capped at $3,500.
McCotter’s bill would be restricted to “qualified pets,” so a domesticated animal wouldn’t be eligible if it were used for commercial purposes. That means the horse you ride to work when Cap-and-Trade passes will not qualify.
We love Thaddeus McCotter and we love animals. Neveretheless, we wanted to believe this was a parody of ObamaCare. Unfortunately, after watching this video we’re afraid McCotter is serious.
Please feel free to consider McCotterCare proof positive that the Chinese have slipped LSD into Washington, DC’s water supply.
