Taxation is theft, at least in this writer's opinion. She finds capital gains taxes a special form of theft, because if you invest your money to make more money, you shouldn't be punished for it.
The government feels differently.
Now Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced legislation to eliminate the capital gains tax on home sales.

It'll be interesting to see how it does in Congress.
Heck yes! Less taxes mean more freedom.

Democrats will undoubtedly claim this is 'greedy.'
Honestly, the $250 for single, $500k for jointly is already pretty good protection, but I wish the States would follow her lead here.

That's not good protection.
Not when the average price of a home in some parts of the country is north of $700,000.
This would be a benefit for the real estate market and a much-needed boost given the high interest rates.

Yep.
Eliminating the capital gains tax on home sales empowers hardworking families to keep more of their earnings, boosts local economies, and encourages homeownership.

Yes, it would be.
Property taxes are a capital gains tax too

So get rid of that also or STFU https://t.co/1PlGoYkp2C
Congress doesn't have the authority to eliminate state-level property taxes.
But they should be eliminated, too.
Eliminate capgains tax on everything, but let's start with home sales. https://t.co/z9aZ0zA9nN

Capital gains taxes should be eliminated across the board.
But we'll start here.
