If you own a house you have to pay property taxes on it. Pay taxes on your labor and materials that you change in your house, value goes up....guess what....reassessed for increased taxes...Sell your house....capital gains taxes....The last figure I heard all said and done was about 50 cents on the dollar of taxes. Next they want to tax the carbon that comes out of your lungs when you exhale if your footprint is too big. (since they ruled carbon dioxide a pollutant now in the Supreme Court)
