Starting in 2013 the government will activate a 3.8% Medicare Tax on "unearned income", including the sale of your home and even rental income.

When you sell your home under this provision in the Obamacare Bill, you can easily go over the $250,000 threshold and get slammed with this tax.

This precedent setting scheme of taxing "unearned income" and other Medicare Taxes which targets the Middle Class extensively, notably retired people looking to downsize their home is expected to raise $210 Billion Dollars to help pay for Obamacare.

It also exposes President Obama, again, for the liar that he is.

“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes,”
President Obama, September 12, 2008
