As with any home purchase, you factor taxes into the cost. Be smart, don’t be dazzled by sparkly new things.
Was this post written by the Romney Campaign Committee?
Guess you missed the fact that this replaces the current corrupt failed system, it does not add to it.
Absolutely not
zzzzz
And therein lies the problem with the current tax code. Why should married couples pay less in taxes than a single person? Why does the single person get punished? I pay $4000 per year more in federal income taxes than a married couple simply because I am single. That ain't right!
Wow congratulations, you managed to post a whole rant and not get even 1 single fact correct!
I watched that “flip/flop” video. It gives such short snippets of what was said in so many cases, with so little (or no) context as to be completely without merit. It’s laughable.
You are right, and why should Santorum get 7 additional deductions for his 7 kids? Please, no more social engineering.
The Perry plan...

No surpise, typical Romney campaign tactics. Romney pays his campaign-bots to deny all ties to Romney while recklessly trash talking his competitor. He has done it in every single race he has ever been in.
You would think with all his money Romney could hire better campaign bots then those who's best effort is this emotional ridden hysteric trash talk.
Ooops, you caught me picking my nose.
Exactly right about that child credit -- $1500 per child. It is social engineering.
Who needs facts when all the media, Dems and RINOs will use lies? And if their lies don’t work, they will LIE harder!
I know this has been pointed out to you numerous times, but surely you realize that $200,000 price on the house has built into it all the hidden taxes the builder paid during construction plus their profit.
So, you could be paying $16,200 sales tax on the same exact house that now costs only $180,000 assuming only a 10% decrease in retail price even though many studies show the tax burden on products is as much as 40%.
You repeatedly ignore COGS (Cost Of Goods Sold), but I can tell you this, businesses don't ignore it. You assume that all retail sales entities will conspire to not drop prices based on their lower COGS. You assume no business will lower prices to make a market share play. Yet, in reality, businesses do this all the time.
People just gobble it up without thinking....the one day sale....that makes you jump on the bandwagon. I thought freepers were smarter than that.
I’m not a 999 expert. Under the fair tax, the tax is paid by the original purchaser of a new house. Pre-owned houses do not pay a sales tax.
The builder, suppliers, manufacturers all have their taxes lowered. Competition will drive the new house prices down when these embedded costs are removed. You were already paying the tax that was a cost of doing business for the builder. Now it is up front and visible.
No, people actually learn about it. And when they bother to learn about it, they like it. See unlike you, most people are not totally closed minded about 999 out of a feverish ignorant love for the blessed St Rick.
