		<description><![CDATA[There is a popular e-mail being passed around the internet that states, "Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it?  That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home!  When did this happen?  It's in the health care bill and it is scheduled to go into effect in 2013, right after the 2012 elections.  So, this is 'change you can believe in' that Obama has been preaching?"  Read this post to sift through what is fact and fiction.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tomblefko.com&amp;blog=5527531&amp;post=2375&amp;subd=tomblefko&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
