    Show me the data which shows real pay rolls not models. And I am talking about Mc Jobs. We are talking about real jobs.

  6. And the misery just keeps getting better. Can this be true? This is what happens when you pass it before reading it.

    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 healthcare bill.

    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.

    Edit: The above is not quite accurate. Still, WTF is this doing in a HC bill?
    This is inaccurate and needs to be corrected. The truth about the bill is that if you sell your home for a profit above the capital gains threshold of $250,000 per individual or $500,000 per couple then you would be required to pay the additional 3.8 percent tax on any gain realized over this threshold.

    I don't know. They should be toast, but their strategy has shifted to personal attacks for real or, usually, imagined flaws of their opponents. Unfortunately, that works well too.
