About time these blue cities were called out for highway robbery.
What’s next, simply driving through the city on a public road would get you taxed a percentage of your income.
NOW make ALL these Blue “shithole” cities pay back every $$$ they illegally confiscated.
Pay Back WITH INTEREST!!!
Like THAT will ever happen.
“Taxation without representation.”
The cities (Pitt/Philly) were already making revenues off of the very events themselves, and the athletes were making that possible.
Aggressive enforcement of the athletes tax was first implemented by California during the 1991 NBA Finals to attack the Chicago Bulls, and Illinois reacted back.
This overtaxing of players is seemingly unconstitutional. It was payback for losing.
If the jock tax is unconstitutional, NASCAR is likely to benefit. Since they are based in Florida, with no income tax, the cheques for most races will come from Florida and not be subject to income tax. The NHL has had an advantage in Florida because of no income taxes. In 2020, during the pandemic-restarted “The Voice,” the Spanish language version contestants’ prizes were better than the English-language version, because the Spanish language version was in Miami, while English was in Los Angeles.
It was Lakers targeting Bulls then, and this is an example of absurd taxation.
Liberal greed knows no bounds.
Here, in oregon, gov kotek wants to double auto registration fees, increase gas tax,
a new charge for electric and hybrid vehicle drivers, etc.
Disposable income will soon be dead and gone.
does Pittsburgh now have to pay back all of the illegally collected taxes ... i foresee a giant class action lawsuit if they don’t ...
When I visit another state, I don’t want to pay their sales tax.
When I speed through Hazzard county I don’t want to pay Boss Hogg’s speed trap tax.
