This is what you have to look forward to. And I dont care to hear the support for obama this is a real threat to people selling there homes on top of commissions. Seniors are going to get beat up on this any way you look at it. Where do you want the money put your pocket. Any answer other than yes and your nuts.
If all the Republicans in the Congress signed Grover Norquist's "pledge", how is this thing ever going to get passed? Particularly by the Senate, where the GOP can certainly block such a bill or amendment.

Beyond that, what member of Congress in his right mind would vote for such a bill? Talk about committing suicide in an election year for many of them.

I'm not too worried that this would ever pass muster or the Congress.
