There May be no Future Superbowls in Ca After Next Year

Sam Darnold made $40 million this season, the CA income tax is .49% of his earnings. Let's say you make $100,000 a year; that's like you paying $495 in taxes.

 

Personally, I would pay $495 in CA taxes to perform on stage with Green Day, The Who, or U2, as a few examples. I wonder if Darnold, if given the choice, would pay $197,000 to play in the Super Bowl?

With income disparity at record levels its good that we have MAGA (specifically Tom) looking out for those poor victims at the top end of the income scale.

 

Ask Tom about his thoughts on minimum wage laws.   You'll find he has alot less income empathy for the dishwasher at Wendy's.

 

 

Yet another stupidity of this Tom-shit is that Darnold spends 10-12 working days in California every year, since the Seahawks play one away game each at SF and LA. So additional working days in CA don't affect his taxes all that much.

 

The MAGA California-bashing is nothing more than their slavish devotion to the Turd and his abiding hard-on for that state. And in Tom's case, it's about jealousy as well. He lives in Nasty Senior Land in the Desert. He can only wish he lived somewhere with water and trees.

Liberals can't answer the question

 

Would you do a job if you were told that 100%+ of your income to the govt?

It is a false premise. A very small part of the tax burden comes from his Super Bowl appearance. The majority of it comes from his 33+ million dollar salary. The whole bonus was never taxed. It was the totality of his income in California that was taxed not just the bonus. 


Again your sympathy should be for the regular people like tradesmen that often work in several different states and have to fill out the state income tax form for every state they work in that has this type of tax (41 states) That is a truly unfair system. I like how Minnesota handles it with an income threshold.

OK, I'll answer this idiot Tom-question.

 

Darnold earned over $1 million while he was at the Super Bowl, based on eight days of work there and his $40 million salary.

 

So the reason nobody answered that Tom-question is that it was based on a false premise.

 

Stupid Tom.

Lets see how many Superbowl bound athletes stay home instead of joining the team at the big game going forward because of Tom's big tax apocolypse.   I predict ZERO.        

 

But again - its nice Tom is looking out for the elite class while complaining about minimum wage laws

 This "tax" is just another means for California DemocRATs to generate money to finance their graft and wasteful spending. No other state has as many different "taxes", with more additional taxes assuredly on the way.

Miller's getting reamed out in Vegas...AGAIN. He's spending his vacay time posting here and stalking me in other forums.

 

I'm laughing at his pledge to not respond to the posts others make. That didn't last long!! 😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛

 

He might not understand how stupid it is to bitch about the taxes in a state where he doesn't live.

Again, the usual suspects can't answer my question, would you work somewhere if over 100% of your income was taxed.

 

Simple question with a simple yes or no answer
