These new laws will effect us all.? However, I am not willing to pay a sales tax on vet care just because it brings in more revenue.? This will not prevent the legislators from drafting new laws.? It will only show that we are willing to do whatever it takes for our pets.? They don't care that the outcome will cause more pets to go to shelters because of this Bill.? They don't care about the emotional aspect of euthanizing your dog because you can't afford the additional tax on top of the price of saving his life.? They don't care about anything except the almighty dollar.? They will use our love for our pets to extort us and make?us pay for having them in our lives.? I am sorry,?but I do?NOT see this as a good thing for pet owners.? If they?want to raise taxes on alcohol and smokes, so be it.? These are human vices that lead to the greater health care issues and money spent to provide health care.? Much?of which is never recovered by the Government.? Tax what causes the prob lems.? Don't create problems!?

At this point I would be willing to pay a tax to stop our Legislators from making more new laws.......and more new hidden taxes.

Neither are right but since I am more effected by the vet thing, my fight will go there first.?
