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.

As usual, you're a fool.

It starts that way. Income tax only hit the top 4% the year it was
introduced. Now you can't take a crap without paying some taxes somewhere.

First step is get it in. Next step is to lower the threshold which is
considered easier.

Just like the tax tables, once 4% paid, now 98% pay a lot more.

Big fat statism government greed. Ever growing, every bigger and more
wasteful government. Government is now a model of waste and excess.
