unless I am asked. As for trusting a conservative I can assure you she would have trusted me long before trusting a libtard that thinks its a good idea to pay more in taxes. She had one of my brothers-in-law advising her. He was a tax accountant, now retired.

Of course you still haven't responded about my middle class single person that bought a house say in San Francisco 35 years ago for $50,000 and it is now worth $1.5M. Not plausible you say? Don't make me prove you wrong. :-)

Let me do the math for you.

Pre-1997 One time exemption tax = $0
1997 - 2010 tax cost = $180,000 ($1.45M-$.25M * 0.15)
2010 tax cost = $219,600 ($1.45M-$.25M * 0.183)
Post 2011 tax cost = $285,600 ($1.45M-$.25M * 0.238)

That's a lot of dog food for Grandma. I suppose we should also add the $1,400 per month she will get from SS.....oh wait a second, she has to pay taxes on that as well and with all her money from the house sale it is means tested away so never mind....

As I said, you weren't wrong about anything other than this not impacting the middle class which even your math shows that it does, albeit not a huge amount. I also pointed out you only covered part of the story by focusing on the additional 3.8% of the total tax liability. You see only a liberal would just look at the additional tax as if all the other tax liability doesn't exist. I see and understand the what the real impact is of taxes and not just what they have added lately.
