Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

I am civil servant so don't make much but get about 50% of my salary taken out in taxes. I don't mind paying taxes.

I like my house not catching on fire, driving on roads, going to hospitals when needed, public lands, public beaches and public nudity none of that is available without taxes.

I feel much like you. Yes we all want to pay less but I honestly don't care about the tax burden of professional athletes. They have accounts and Managers and people to take care of them, John Q. Public does not.

I think you all are missing the whole point of when I started this. Which is that players are starting to catch on to the benefits of signing with teams in lower taxed states. If the NFL doesn't compensate (Cap) I think it will lead to the unbalancing of league competition.

There are limits to team rosters, if they want to play they will sign with the team that wants them regardless of Tax implications, again this has been going on for decades.
