Consider the source. I look just behind his name. D- Missouri. The rest of the story then becomes a joke.

I can't speak with certainty about how the players are taxed, but I would imagine their taxed in their state of primary employment. I'm sure the umpires are paying state tax somewhere. If I had to guess, I would think it's in their state of residency. JMO- Tim. |
Depends on the state. Some of them (NY is one) have a non-resident income tax on earnings earned in NY. I'm not sure if it's for having your primary place of employment in NY or for all income earned in NY. If a NY Yankee or Mets player lives in NJ or CT, they pay NY income tax at the non-resident rate.
See http://www.moga.state.mo.us/statutes...1430000183.HTM for the Missouri statute. [Edited by Rich Ives on Nov 2nd, 2005 at 04:21 PM] |

Just another stupid statement by a stupid, grandstanding politician. It wasn't the first time. It won't be the last.

Sorry for the confusion. Some of my best friends are Democrats:D

Well Rich,
I live in a "boarder" community to Washington State.
All our craft employees that live on the Washington State side of the Columbia River are taxed, by Oregon, for every dollar they earn in this state. I would rather review quickly this gentleman's "reason" for the tax. It appears rather obvious that he has based it as a "penalty tax" motivated by umpire performance. As we all learned in basic polysci no tax that is established as a punishment is ever effective. Every politician is looking for new revenue streams. Especially if those that are forced to pay them have no recourse at the ballot box. Tee |

<b>See "rental car" and "hotel" taxes for GREAT examples. Try renting a car in Seattle once -- the taxes are 50% of the rate.</b>
That hasn't been my experience and I rent a car at Seatac at least twelve times a year. I'll check my last receipt and figure the percentage. However, when I went to the Desert Classic last year, the combined taxes on the rental at Phoenix International increased the rental by over 65%. That included a special tax for their new football stadium and the traditional screw the tourist taxes by the state, city and county. [Edited by GarthB on Nov 2nd, 2005 at 11:44 PM] |
