“I’m finally not putting up with [paying] 60% to 70% of my gross to the government,” says Simmons. “I am going to a much more welcoming state where there is no income tax, no local and state taxes. Federal taxes are enough.”

Probably. They never make the correlation. Always flee to a low-tax state and then vote for the same idiotic policies that caused them to flee.

The quote below is from September on his Twitter account. I know he respects the military, not usually a Democrat trait but I don’t recall him supporting Dems,

“Thanks for asking. It’s nobody’s business who you vote for. And you will never convince the other person of your beliefs. So, just go into the voting booth, draw the curtain and vote your conscience. And stop asking people who they’re voting for..It’s none of your business.”

They all say they’re for it _after_ talking to their tax attorneys and preparers about how to avoid the increases.

Gov. Gruesome and his Californicator thug regime could be losing a lot income tax $’s if this becomes a trend.

Stephen Curry, Other NBA Stars Set To Lose A Lot Of Money

Grampa Dave to forgotten man
Thanks for posting this tax loss reality.

“The good news is that the State of California Franchise Tax Board is losing tens of millions of dollars in income taxes from Curry and LeBron James alone.”

Oakland and the State of California Franchise Tax Board took a big hit when the Oakland thugs aka Raiders moved to Vegas.

Now, their basketball thugs will not be paying as much Califonicator Income tax.

MLB was basically a total loss for everyone involved. The bay area has the former Giants and the Oakland A’s.

The loss of seasonal ticket sales for all of these Bay area pro thugs has to be in the millions.

Thanks, again, I had not really thought of the loss of tax’s for California and probably the host cities when the thugs take massive paycuts!

In the article, “He’s moving to a 24-acre estate in Washington state, in the shadow of gorgeous Mount Rainier.”

“Yeah, will he still vote democrat?”

I’m starting to think Simmons might have become a closet Trump guy over the last year or two.
He has said that he regrets his votes for Obama and that Trump is good for the country.

No big loss.

Newsom and California democrats will just take more from those left behind. They think there’s plenty more where the money came from.
