MLive.com Would a tax deduction for pet owners prevent animals from being turned in or abandoned?

Barb Balk could offset the cost of caring for her two dogs and three cats if Congress authorizes a tax deduction of up to $3,500 for their expenses.

And to answer the question asked...No, I don't believe it would help in regards to abandoned animals.

1. It is by CHOICE that we have animals no one is forcing us to have one.

2. Don't be a dumbass and get an animal if you can't afford to have one.

3. Tax deduction for having an animal? Michigan is a dumbass State with assholes running it.... Read More

4. I am thankful I have two dogs that I love very much and one Bird & Im not some jackass thinking I need a tax break for pets.

Will Meijer follow on the latest move in the holiday price war? After slashing prices on toys and books, three retail giants -- Walmart Stores Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Target Corp. -- are chopping prices on soon-to-be released DVDs, including the new Star Trek and Harry Potter releases, to $10.

Advocates of reforms to America's sex-offender laws no doubt will cheer a Muskegon-area man's successful effort to get his name off the state's registry. A state appeals court ruled unanimously this week that keeping the man's name on the list constituted cruel and unusual punishment.

I'm with you on this, where do we fit in for the extra help we need just to make ends meet. Like on the tax returns, I'm just over for the home heating credit and Homestead credit and the other one without a child credit. I'm a senior without enough Social Security benefits and a extremely small pension, so I'll always have to work at least part ... Read Moretime just to make my living expenses and now there won't be a cost-of-living increase next year with SS. If my health declines and can't work, I'm going to be hurting. Oh yes, I have a small amount of savings that disqualifies me from getting any supplemental help. I have to have this for real emergencies, at my age and income I wouldn't be able to borrow any money or the means to pay it back.

It just makes me sick.....these politicians think they are helping people, they are helping the "wrong" people...no one knows how tough times are than me, but the people who are STILL getting unemployment after 12 -18 months....arent looking for a job and why would they, I know alot of people who are on ue, they make almost as much "take home" pay ... Read Moreas they would if they were working and without all the bs!!! I also noticed that Mr. President extended the first time home buyers credit, that is awesome, but the home must be under $800,000......seriously.....if you need the $8000 when you can afford an $800,000 house, as soon as you receive that check in the mail.....you should immediately self destruct!!!!

The charges by airlines get more out of line all the time. Between charging for a seat (if you want window or aisle you pay more), checking a bag, something to eat & then holiday surcharges, it is probably cheaper to drive to your destination!

They're doing what they can to stay in business, or at least it seems to be their mindset. Whatever happened to treating people like valued customers instead of a cattle train? We're so dependent now on it for transportation that they can do whatever they choose. It's sad!
