The first time home buyer tax credit caused a flurry of sales last fall but the expanded credit which is not limited to just first time home buyers doesn't seem to be having the same effect. When people are not feeling good about the employment situation and the economy and when our country's "leadership" shows so little knowledge of real world business it's no wonder that people aren't worried about buying a bigger house...they are worried about keeping their jobs and paying for the one they are in now! For all of the campaign years, all we heard was "It's the economy, stupid" by Democrats. I say back to them, you were right, it IS the economy, STUPID. Anyone who proposes doing away capital gains taxes for small business doesn't know ANYTHING about the MAIN employment engine of our country...the small business! Capital gains are made on investments, not normal business operations. It is time for our elected Representatives to remember that they are in DC to serve the people and not themselves!
