Pop out more and save on your taxes!

No, this isn't going to be a blog about the state of the welfare system in the U.S...now it's moved on to horses!

"I called King County and asked what the point is. They said to get the tax break, a horse farm must do more than house and feed horses. It has to breed and sell them to be a legit, working horse farm."

WHAT? In order to save on your taxes, you have to MAKE MORE HORSES?

Are you people at King County smoking crack? Why don't you guys wander over and talk to your own Animal Control department about the vast numbers of unwanted horses in King County? And how Animal Control can't afford to feed them or house them ('cause you guys underfund them shamefully) so even when they do rescue them, they can wind up going to the goddamn Enumclaw auction?

OMG seriously! I am aghasted beyond belief at this. Who thinks up this shit?
