• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

The biggest problem is homes/land. I bought my house 2 years ago and it has doubled in value. I’m not selling but my neighbor across the street just did for twice what I paid. Theoretically I would owe tax on that gain. I don’t have that kind of money laying around. Would have to sell my house, as I feel most everyone I know would as well.
Your first $250k in gain ($500k for a married couple) on the sale of your primary residence is tax-free.

Sure on normal times. But you also don’t pay taxes on investment that has increased until you sell. What I’m saying is they will come after unrealized gains in homes. I’m up 700k on my house. I don’t have 300k currently liquid to pay a BS tax. I’d have to sell my home to use that money to pay the tax.

Agreed. Plus the “market value” of a house is not so clearly determinable like stocks. They would clearly try to jack up the value of your home to get as much tax revenue as possible. You wouldn’t have much recourse to combat their valuation.

Gotcha. Congrats on the nice gain on your residence though!

They need to be put in stocks in the public square where anyone can come by do anything to them short of killing them. Spit on them, kick 'em in the jewels, throw rotten tomatoes at them, walk by and fart, and everyone can come by and inject them with whatever substance you desire...just to see how safe those substances are. "That's the way it goes."

Yea well in Broward they just voted to keep kids in masks despite the numbers being below the threshold they said could come off. I love DeSantis but he needs to come to the places that are hurting and stop spouting off in friendly areas. Come to a Broward School board meeting. Bitch today actually said they only received 10 complaints about masks in the last 2 months from kids. Moms for freedom or whatever it is had thousands of complaints. Those apparently didn’t count. Come on Ron, come fix this shit.
Move out of that shit hole. Up here in Seminole we have a mask mandate with a parent (or adult student) opt out. School employees were masks inside. But that all stops Nov 1. Everything back to normal.

Too bad so many children lost a year and a half of school. Over half of third graders are not going to pass FSA. I’m curious if they are going to promote everybody anyway or make half the students repeat a grade. I think we all know the answer.

That would kick off a civil war.
