Has any one heard about this little tax!!!

HOME SALES TAX

I thought you might find this interesting, -- maybe even SICKENING!
 
The National Association of Realtors is all over this and working to get it repealed, -- before it takes effect.  But, I am very pleased we aren't the only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners.  How many realtors do you think will vote Democratic in 2012?
 
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, -- and it goes into effect in 2013.  Why 2013?  Could it be so that it doesn't come to light until after the 2012 elections?  So, this is "change you can believe in?"
 
Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% sales tax.
 
If you sell a $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 make your November, 2012 vote more important?
 
Oh, you weren't aware that this was in the ObamaCare bill?  Guess what; you aren't alone!  There are more than a few members of Congress that weren't aware of it either.

Good old Nancy SAID we should pass it so that we could see WHAT was in it.......

My Groundskeeper at work is off the next 3 days....closing on his first home tomorrow and getting moved in to it....good thing he did it now......

And here I am, sitting in my home hoping to get a little market bounce before selling (after a 40% drop in value).  

How about a bounty on all politicians.  $25 a head, $10 an ear.

Don't want to hear any of our elected officials say they didn't know it was in there.   Reading what you vote for is always a good thing, failure to do so means you're bowing to political pressure that is most likely not in your constitutents best interests.  Vote every one of the jerkwads out.

Most of them never read any of the bills before them.  That's what interns are for....that and in some cases a few other things.  They're too busy shaking hands and taking bribes, er, campaign contributions to be bothered with reading legislation.

My Harley riding buddy is getting ready to put his house on the market and I asked him about the sales tax. He said he had talked to his real estate person about it and they verified that it is correct about only $250 fora couple in income and if it's your primary home not applicable.

I do believe that you will find that  this 3.8% tax is not on the sales price of the home, but on the capital gain instead.

Either way you slice it guys, you are being hosed.  That is just out right robbery.  Here in Canada we have something similar but it is when you buy a house.  They call it the Land Transfer tax and it goes up exponentially the more your house id worth.   All gov'ts are money hungry.

well even if not true the health care bill is a GIANT SUCKING BLACK HOLE  it's going to create 150 some odd new agencies in the federal government.
