And now this

[Mtn.man]

Sorta goes with the budget thing.

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it?

That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc.

When did this happen? It's in the health care bill. Just thought you should know.

SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of Health Care Bill)

REAL ESTATE SALES TAX

So, this is "change you can believe in"?

Under the new health care bill - did you know that 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 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. Does this stuff make your November and 2012 vote more important?

Oh, you weren't aware this was in the Obama Care bill? Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either.

That may have been the intention, but it will just bring all home sales to a grinding halt, the only ones that will sell will be forced sales...

watch the rental market get hammered as more and more put their hoses up for rent rather than sell them & lose money to the tax.

Curious how this will impact pending lawsuits regarding Obamacare.
How much more evidence do we need that this entire bill should be repealed?
20 percent of the waivers are in Pelosi's district.

This entire administration is despicable.

Bills go in with totally unrelated spending/tax stuff in them all the time.

This was probably just part of the effort to get the CBO scoring to declare obamacare a deficeit cutter.

Its unconstituional, for sure, but so are a bunch of other laws that have passed supreme court muster. So I dunno.

So that makes it ok?
I see a post full of BS excuses from somebody that's shown previous disregard for our Constitution on more than one occasion.

Considering the GOP is not a damn bit better, not really. I will continue to not vote for either party.

The Democrats may have never seen a tax they didn't like, but the GOP isn't exactly known to repeal taxes.

Hence why I "waste" my vote by voting libertarian. Sure I may not win, but at least I didnt actively contribute to corruption and the taking of my freedoms like the rest of the sheeple.

Can you count to 51?

Unbelievable, once again the working middle class will take it in the shorts....

Sometimes I wonder if it'd be better if I was poor instead of a working stiff...
