Today, conservative champion Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) delivered a powerful blow to the overreaching leftist tax machine by introducing the “No Tax on Home Sales Act” in the House of Representatives. This bold legislation seeks to eliminate the federal capital gains tax on home sales—a tax that the radical left has weaponized against hardworking American families trying to achieve economic mobility. Greene declared bluntly, “Families who work hard, build equity, and sell their homes shouldn’t be punished with a massive tax bill.” This commonsense bill would finally put an end to the Democrats’ punitive policies that punish success and rack up taxes on the American Dream.
For years, the out-of-touch liberal elites have used capital gains taxes on home sales to stifle property ownership and trap homeowners in stagnant markets. As home prices have skyrocketed— with the National Association of Realtors confirming median existing-home prices topped $400,000 in 2024— the left has done nothing but double down on confiscatory taxes that hurt everyday Americans. Under current law, homeowners can exclude only $250,000 ($500,000 for couples) in capital gains from their tax bill, meaning many sellers see a huge chunk of their hard-earned equity vanish into Washington’s coffers.
Greene’s legislation obliterates this financial penalty and would inject vital new supply into desperately tight housing markets by removing the tax disincentive to selling. More inventory means more affordability and faster economic freedom for millions—from families relocating to retirees downsizing—finally pushing back against the Democrats’ decades-long war on property rights and wealth creation.
Conservatives see this bill as a massive victory in the fight for economic liberty. It stands shoulder-to-shoulder with President Donald Trump’s proven tax-cutting agenda that prioritizes rewarding work and prosperity over government extortion. The bill is a clear repudiation of the failed left-wing policies that have driven up housing costs while crushing the dreams of countless Americans just trying to get ahead.
Meanwhile, the radical left will predictably howl about “lost revenue” and “inequality,” but these tired arguments ignore the bigger picture. They refuse to admit their policies have only fueled inflation and shortages. By punishing those who build equity, Democrats have trapped millions in homes they can’t afford to leave, artificially depressing supply and driving prices through the roof. Greene’s bill blasts apart this greed-driven status quo, giving power back to the people.
While no Democratic response has been officially published yet, critics from the left have historically opposed similar reforms, clinging stubbornly to a tax-and-spend ideology that punishes success. Their viewpoint epitomizes the out-of-touch elite’s disdain for the hardworking Americans who fuel our nation and deserve better.
The legislation will soon be handed to the House Ways and Means Committee, where conservative allies must rally behind this pro-growth measure and propel it through Congress. A successful passage would be a landmark victory for the Trump administration’s vision of unleashing America’s economic potential by slashing burdensome regulations and taxes.
From a Biblical perspective, this move reflects America’s fundamental identity as a nation blessed to honor stewardship and the fruits of labor. God commands us to work faithfully and prosper—not to have our treasures stolen by bloated government schemes. Greene’s bill champions those values by protecting families’ rightful earnings and promoting freedom over control.
In a time when leftist failures have pushed the nation into crisis after crisis, this bill delivers hope and momentum to conservatives and everyday Americans alike. It exposes the left’s hypocrisy, their greed, and their unrelenting drive to control every aspect of life. As President Trump leads the charge to revive America’s greatness, Rep. Greene’s legislation cracks open the door to a freer, fairer housing market where the American Dream can thrive again. The left’s grip on our economy is breaking—America’s spirit and prosperity are roaring back.
