Crazy "One Percenter" Melissa Gilbert who can afford a hair stylist for her dog but can't afford to pay her taxes is running for Congress:
Laura Ingalls Wilder actress: "I'm running for Congress to make life a little easier for all the families who feel they have fallen through the cracks in today's economy."
You know what would make life easier for those people Melissa? If the ultra-rich would pay their taxes so that the poor could have necessary services.
-
@mlnews What else would help would be if all these ultra rich folks that have more money than 10 generations of their family can spend quit paying hair stylists for their dogs, and get out and do some good in the community.

Pet salons are part of the economy you know.

Wouldn't be a problem if she was paying her taxes.

Sad but true. Unfortunately they seem to cater to the rich and famous... rather than the poor and broke, lol.
Pets do not need a paid hair stylist... Their owners should do that... I would say like they would do their own kids...but... well we all know that Pets are really just furry kids, lol.

Having hair stylists for pets is fine, IMHO. No different than having it for people. Not for me, I take a razor and cut my own hair. When I was little my dad cut my hair. I've been to a barber maybe three times in my life. But like any luxury item hair styling for men, women or pets is fine. As long as the person in question isn't a tax evader.
