    I think they should do away with the billions in write offs on home mortgage interest. I'm tired of the gov't giving away money!

    I pointed it out, but there was a later link that showed something about how couples are exempt up to 500K, and maxiep brought up an elderly couple on a fixed income and it got silly after that point.

    So instead of repeating myself (like Obama spending more on the GM/Chrysler bailout than the last 10 presidents did on the Navy), I just stopped posting in there because it was pointless to continue.

    Wow! both of you are about a smart as a dirt clod. Now here is and example for you;

    18 years ago build a house for about $300,000. That is about 150,000 and profit for doing it yourself. About 12 years ago we got the $250,000 ($500,000 couple) home owners exclusion from capital gain.

    Well today that $300,000 home is worth about $900,000 due to devaluation of the dollar. For the same reason a gallon of gas 18 years ago cost $1.20, today costs give or take $3.60 or the the loaf of bread 18 years ago
    cost 1.50, where today it's 4.50. So taxing a person today on this apparent gain is bullshit. The exclusion should have been raised to 1.5 million for a couple to be right A transaction tax on the sale of a home for the reason of buying someone healthcare insurance is completely unfair and simply a penalty on people that own a home. No different that confiscation of property like all good communist bastards have want to do.

    You could say that about any tax, and it would sound just as incoherent. Why should I pay property tax on my house to fund schools? Why should I pay capital gains when I sell it? Why should I pay income or sales tax? Why should I have to contribute anything at all to society, instead of just taking from society? It isn't fair! Waah!

    If you have to result to insults, name calling and swearing to get your point across, you pretty much show you don't have a strong leg to stand on.

    hmm I don't know, I am not as bright as some of you, but this humble soul understood what he had to say..a leg to stand on? Well I think he has three, very solid argument.

    Yeah I'll be leasing for a while before I buy, I need to get a big time job first before I commit long-term.

    I thought the dirt clod argument was the best of the three.
