Grandma sells her house after grandpa dies so she can live in a small apartment. Tax the fuck out of granny, she's literally killing America.

Or you could adjust the rest of the taxes so that she paid less in income taxes before & after.

Why? Progressive tax rates are much more fair and result in living wages for more people. Well, except when all the loopholes are there for the extremely wealthy. Like in the US.

So that we can pay more and the rich get taxed less. Yup..sounds like a republican plan to me.

Why tax her, she already paid tax on the money she paid for the home with.
