How can you tax home equity? That doesn’t even make sense.


Your house is worth $300K, you only owe $100K on your mortgage

You have $200K in equity; therefore you OWE the government 10% (or whatever) of that equity ON TOP of what you pay in other taxes

Fork over $20K NOW or we take your home

See how that work?

That’s ridiculous. Home equity tax will never happen. And if the idiots somehow do force this through, what would stop the homeowner from taking out a home equity loan to cancel out their equity? Dumb policy proposal would be dumb.
