Re: Gibson raidedMy aunt's house was a second home at the shore which was bought in 1965 ( for $12,500),so it wasn't her primary residence which means she has to pay capitol gains on the full amount. As I pointed out,she's 88 years old and not rich.I was trying to make the point that it's not just the wealthy that pay capitol gains.John,I'm not attacking the poor. I was trying to make 2 points. First,we all benefit from this country and we all need to help support it,even if it's just a little.The second point was that some who work and pay no taxes,are getting money from those of us who are paying taxes.So our government isn't Robin Hood taking from the rich and giving to the poor.They are also taking from many of us who are just squeeking by in this economy.I don't mind helping out the less fortunate,but I like to choose who I give my money to instead of having the government decide.
