There was something about a 3.6% increase in the capital gains tax for those making over $250k. The top long term rate was going to rise to 20% when the Bush tax cuts expire next year, and then on top of that there was an additional 3.6% due to the health care legislation for earners above $250k.


Believe me, the guy who sold this property does not make above $250k per year. I'd be surprised if he makes 15% of that amount.

Health Care Income Seizure and Redistribution Bill.

Wow, what a great (and fitting?) name for a bill. Definitely, something Freudian played a part in naming it this way.... :)
