DC Tom Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 As an owner of three cats who stands to profit greatly from something like this...this is one of the most ridiculous ideas I've ever heard. Do I have to get them Social Security Numbers or something for this to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to get them Social Security Numbers or something for this to work? I have two, but have all receipts for the two since dearly departed. Will this cover retroactive costs? - what with this current Congress considering the Constitution as a pesky impediment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 What slippery slope? Yeah, what slope? There's no slope. We stepped off the edge of the cliff a while ago. The US Congress. Doing everythine possible to put The Onion out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I like to play video games, but with the recession and rising system/game costs, its becoming tougher and tougher to continue to buy games. Can i get a tax credit for that? On second thought, perhaps i should be "diagnosed" with a "disorder" that makes me want to stay home and play video games. Then i can't be fired if i skip work to play madden, because it would be discrimination. EDIT: this tax break represents discrimination because my landlord says i cannot have a pet in my apartment. I want to and would have a pet f i could, so I believe the gubmint should subsidize me the money i am missing out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to the last 10 that have stuck strictly to the letter of the Constitution. Partisan blindness is doing wonders for our freedoms.

Face it, your "can do no wrong" republican party is just as responsible for the demise of the Constitution as the democrats. Every time one party takes control, they increase their powers through new laws, never giving a thought to the fact that sooner or later the other party is going to be able to use those same laws for their own misguided agendas. All of your blathering about liberals is pointless and tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
