Why does the title say sales tax? Home sales are not taxed by the feds or any state that I know of.

It does not say sales tax; only "tax". It is income tax we all have to pay.

Home sales are taxed in Washington state.

Good point. I assume the article meant county real estate taxes, which would probably cost a bunch on a million dollar house in MD.

Well, see....that's why you should vote for Keyes. He wants to institute a National Sales Tax.

When you sell your home you pay. Sucks. Of couse, no income tax! Yet.

Nowadays they apply a massive amount of taxes when you win ANYTHING. I don't think it's just sales taxes. You know when those publisher's clearing house winners win $100 million they've really only won about $40 million after taxes.
