A 3.8 percent sales tax may not sound like much. But it would add $3,800 to the cost of a $100,000 home or more than $15 grand to the cost of a $400,000 home. If the GOP wins in November, they have promised to overturn Obamacare and pass common sense, economically sound health care legislation. If Obama and the Democrats win, count on this tax and many others to kick in and further depress the economy.

Not really. What I really want is a cigarette, even though it has been decades since I smoked one. Good thing there are none in this house tonight! I know that would probably kill you, Chrissy, so stick with the Chex Mix.

I like to save the F word for special occasions. It has such nice spitty, harsh consonants and only using it occasionally makes it feel all that more expressive.

This is real baloney. Please make some attempt to get the facts right.
The bill would impose what is essentially a capital gains taxes on some home sales made by a limited number of taxpayers. The health care law contains a new 3.8% tax on “unearned income” for high-income taxpayers. Unearned income includes capital gains.
So to me this is simply a slight increase in the capital gains tax on real estate sales/gains for some wealthier people. To be hit by the 3.8% capital gains tax, you have to be a married couple making more than $250,000 in adjusted gross income or $200,000 if you are single. Then the capital gain on the home sale must also exceed $250,000 if you are single, and $500,000 if you are a married couple.
So nothing to see here for 99% of us…

I make every attempt to get the facts right and I am well known among my regular readers for apologizing and fixing stuff when I goof up. So, some courtesy would be nice for starters.
As for facts, this tax is also on rental property, which means the extra cost will be passed on to renters. Here are a few more things you could learn before sneering at me:
Small business owners are the 99 percent
