California has become a separate country. This hellhole state has its own immigration
policy via sanctuary cities and now it has imposed a duty, or jock tax, on
professional athletes who have the misfortune of playing there.
Since the Super Bowl will be held in
Santa Clara, California this year, the visiting teams will end up paying the
“jock tax.” The jock tax is a tax levied on professional athletes. States base
this taxation of a player’s yearly income, which they then apply a duty day
calculation, which looks at the ratio of duty days spent in-state against total
duty days in a year. Because athletes from both Super Bowl teams have to spend
several days in California for the event, they will all have to pay an
obscenely high tax rate based on their entire year’s income!
Each member of the winning team will
receive a $102,000 check from the NFL, members of the losing team will each
receive $51,000 just for participating. This leaves those highly paid stars
like Quarterback Cam Newton, who signed a five-year $103.8 million dollar
contract last summer, in the red, according to Forbes.
He will owe California a total of $159,560 in taxes in 2016 just
if they win and $159,200 if they lose, based on Forbes’ calculations, which
factors 11 of the Panthers’ 206 “duty days” in 2016 taking place in California.
If Cam Newton is upset after losing the
Super Bowl can you imagine when he gets California’s tax bill?
