Can't even pass on what you earned to your kids (having the option to). Is that really getting ahead in life? If your ok with that then we may as well all be renters and let the gov own everything.
Everyone was cheering when he went putting blame on the evil foreigners driving up housing costs, now he goes targetting the middle class and that isn't a problem.
They "fix" one thing with the foreign investors and come up with another way to get more tax money.
Gov mismanagement of funds is clearly the problem. You people want to roll over to this then expect more taxes to come. Just make sure to blame yourself and not the politicians when that happens.

No one's telling them they have to sell, they can defer and when it comes time to sell they will still be so far ahead it won't even matter. They are being greedy, they didn't do anything except buy into a place that blew up and is now worth an insane amount more than they paid for it. They are acting like they are going to end up under water over this when in reality they will die rich as fuck and their kid will inherit a fuck load of wealth.
