Doesn't sound
good.

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 HC 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 ObamaCare bill? Guess what, you
aren't
alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware
of it
either.

Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you forward this to
every
single person in your address book because you can make a difference.


Do you ever check out these bat**** posits from the GOP before you post
them? The tax will only apply to earners of high incomes and there are
ways to shelter against it.

Stick to syrupy pseudo-patriotism, Herring. That and your racism will
keep you safe.

It starts that way. First, get the tax in then slide the tax tables
down until the middle class get the huge screw.

Take the advent of income tax. Only the top 4% paid in the first year
as their income was high enough. Now, almost every full time worker
pays plenty. Tax creep. Get it started and in time the middle class
too will eat it.

The plan is, get the tax in, then slide the tax tables and in a few
years -- they will deem you rich because you have a job and a home.

The economy is like a pie, the more the government gets the less the
people have. Government can only consume and redistribute wealth, it
cannot create it. It is in effect a parasite on the economy at this
point. Big overspending mismanaged government is preventing a real
recovery.
