  Oh, you bought your house a decade ago. In your 20’s too, which either means you live in a cheap shit hole, or mommy and daddy’s money helped you out (either directly, or by shielding you from things like student debt).

      If you’re paying a mortgage on a house you bought in your 20’s, you aren’t going to be affected by the taxes on unrealized gains exceeding $100,000,000, because if you had that kind of wealth you wouldn’t have a mortgage…

        And how long before it gets lowered? Remember where income tax started? We have historical evidence of government greed.
