My neighbor was talking about this comparison the other day, and I was going to search for it myself, thanks you saved me some time. Same neighbor is a professor at UCLA, but taught at the University of Chicago with Obama, and said to me, "this guy can't make up his mind on anything."

The part I find interesting is:

"28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)"

How many Americans put all they have into their house, and for many, this is the major if not only retirement investment they have? I am not saying this is smart, but it is the american way or american dream. Not sure I can vote for someone who would tax the american dream.
