Where in the world do I live??
While I was sitting in the car during seminary, I was listening to the radio and the news came on and the DJ's were complaining about a new tax the state is going to start.
If you have a pet, any kind, you will now pay a yearly tax. Based on the weight of your pet. If you don't pay the tax, your pet could be impounded. The only way to get around this is to not take your pet to the vet. The state will be checking vaccination records to verify who has paid the tax.
This includes dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, fish, etc.
People were outraged. Do you blame them? I don't have pets and I can't believe it. All of these poor animals in shelters are never going to be adopted and people will get rid of the ones they have because they can't afford them.
Unreal!
BTW, if you live in MA, you have 48 hours to register your animal and get your taxes paid.
They were also talking about taxing soda, I guess 20 other states already do that one to help fight obesity. Whatever!
Welcome to TAXachussetts!!
I checked out the websit the radio station said to go to to pay these taxes and it says:
April FOOLS!!!!
