Another tax

Fascinating article from March 28, 2010.

She was right....had to vote it in to find out what's in it.
In a nutshell,
it's a load of bullrap.



Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax. The bulk of these new taxes don’t kick in until 2013 (presumably after Obama’s re-election). You can thank Nancy, Harry and Barack and your local Democrat Congressman for this one. If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Is this “Hope & Change” great or what? We can vote the bums out in November and demand that they eliminate the bill or at the very least defund it. Then in 2012 repeal it.

This is complete bull$hit.

The truth about this bill is that if you sell you home for a profit above the capital gains threshold of $250,000 per individual or $500,000 per couple then you would be required to pay the additional 3.8% tax on any gain realized over this threshold.

Still sucks,
