That's right. That's our gubmint for you. They take a productive US citizen who contributes to the economy and hold him upside down to shake every last penny out of his pockets. I guess we should feel kind of grateful that the IRS let him keep any of his hard earned money.

They don't tax you on the sale of your primary residence provided you meet certain requirements. They DO tax you on the sale of investment property and I think that's absolutely fine. So PL's dad had to pay $100k in taxes for selling a property...so what? It's an INVESTMENT, many other investments are also taxed.
It may be time to give the necessary proper documents to the current 20 million Undocumented American Workers. Almost everyone agrees that the only people who really want them deported are a few fringe groups on the extreme radical right. Most Americans love Mexican Immigrants and welcome the addition of their fine culture and hard work to the dying insular communities in America. When you give an undocumented Mexican a job, he works really hard and shows up the native born American.
America is a land of immigrants and our native born population is dying off and retiring. It is time to open up America to a large influx of new workers. I support allowing most of these people to come from Latin America because of the huge existing Hispanic influence already in America. It will make it easier for them to assimilate than someone from Africa or Asia who speaks a language few understand.
American citizens agree they are very angry illegal aliens are here and want them deported permanately. Punishment of illegals is not the goal, the goal is getting some of the lifestyle back that we had 'before' illegals invaded. That lifestyle we want back includes: being able to rent or own our own house, depressed wages back to what they were before illegal invastion, hospitals opening again and good healthcare back! Many citizens would like to get off the streets into a place of their own with their kids. You know nothing of what America was like before the invasion. Most people living in the U.S. are immigrants? I'd like to see statistics for this, most Americans I've known were born here; their grandparents to their children. WE NEED LESS PEOPLE COMING TO AMERICA, ALL THE ILLEGALS HERE HAVE SEVERELY LIMITED THE PEOPLE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO IMMIGRATE BECAUSE THE HUGE NUMBERS OF ILLEGALS/OFFSPRING ARE WAY TO MUCH FOR COMMUNITIES TO HANDLE. AMERICANS ARE ANGRY ABOUT THIS LARGE INFLUX OF HISPANIC IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE MOST OF THEM CAME HERE ILLEGALLY, THEY MUST LEAVE.

That's because it's concidered "commercial" and as far as they're concerned,
that property is making money.
I think one of the reasons why so many Hispanic illegal immigrants are allowed to roam free without fear of deportation is because most of them work so hard and they are so friendly. I doubt that other minority groups who have a stereotype of being lazy, loud and angry would be given as much of a break if they were illegally in this county. Mexicans are good people (99% of the time) regardless if they have papers or not.
It's definitely not other minority groups who have stereotype of being lazy, loud and angry.

Moderator cut: personal attack. What other minority (American or do you mean foreign?) groups are lazy, loud and angry? While Mexican illegals are nothing but good people? Man -- that is stereotyping to the max. Moderator cut: personal attack.

Yep. Didn't they used to tax you on the sale of your primary residence? I made about $75k in profit (my half) from the sale of mine and my ex's house in the UK and the IRS can't touch that either; since I was a resident in the UK and I'm a US citizen they treat it the same way. The UK doesn't tax the sale of your primary residence and I'm not even sure they tax investment properties.
