Given President Donald Trump‘s well-chronicled feud with the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, it doesn’t seem the one athlete — indeed the one person — to be mentioned by name in a key explainer for the new GOP tax plan would be Golden State’s star player. But lo and behold, Trump nemesis Stephen Curry — one of the faces of the NBA — makes a cameo.

In a portion of the document addressing concerns about small business taxes, Curry’s name was invoked to try to assuage fears that high wage earners like the basketball star will be taxed at a higher rate than business owners who may have “pass-through” money, but are not profiting individually.

just heard, NFL players playing in London last week found their paychecks $113,000 short. (+/- presumably for some of the higher paid players?) EU taxes.

It happens here too, probably not quite to that extent. Maybe in Caleeeefornia and New York.

Could be a teachable moment if explained properly.
