I remember when I lived in Alexandria, VA – I had to register my dog with the local government. I think there might have been a $25 fee associated with that as well.

This was many years ago and my husky has since passed on.

I'm disappointed that no one has cited the health benefits to owning a pet. Study after study has shown the effect of animals on people– reduced heart rate, calming.. Why do you think therapy dogs are so successful?

It's ironic that humans can only deduct the medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of their taxable income. Let's change that while we are at it. But the deductions would help me. I've spent over $10K on an adopted Mexican dog and $4K on an adopted stray.

For Ignatius ~

Ever think of a business lease of the property, with a sub-lease to you? You'll have some income, but a larger business that will absorb write-off cost of the entirety of the lease with only a partial income on sub-lease and administrative costs to keep the place up, keep the company up, etc., being borne by the business….

That's not "only so far", dude, that's the whole enchilada if you do it right. Same as owners. And no, I didn't change the subject, I addressed it head on. I just didn't give you the entire view up-front. You are the guy who wandered into the personal attack.

Please don't blame owners because renters can't figure out the tax code.

And by the way, owners DO NOT get their "shelter" subsidized. They are allowed a write-off of INTEREST ONLY, which decreases as equity increases. So your theory that a renter is screwed is false, as time goes on for the owner. The smart renter can make out better in the long run on tax savings. They just won't have an asset. They WILL, on the other hand, have more liquid cash.

EXACTLY!

Seems like the FairTax is the way to go to me too.
