That’s 3800 bucks on a 100,000 dollar house with absolutely no recourse.

Not quite. According to this article on Fact Check, A 3.8 Percent “Sales Tax” on Your Home? , I think this is how it works. If you are single, have an income of $200K, then you will be taxed 3.8% on any profit over $250K when you sell your home. For married couples that make $250K, they will be taxed 3.8% on any home sales profit over $500K. There is no exclusion, though if you sell a vacation home or rental property.

It still stinks.

Be careful trusting Fact Check. They are owned by a Leftist newspaper.
