Sam Darnold Won The Super Bowl — But Lost Money Due To The Jock Tax

Communism is every bit as legal as fascism and racism but calling them commies doesn`t make them commies. You don`t strike anyone as a Rhodes Scholar. :icon_rolleyes:
We do not have fascism in the United States. We do/did have some people who are fascist to citizens at times in our history. Communism is being pushed by the elites. The Progressive political class is getting on board with this and is in its incipient stage. Mamdani and their ilk today will not be the Mamdani say a couple of decades into the future. Communists do not go easy or leave without cracking some eggs. Complaining about snow removal in the future will be different than today when the American version of the Stasi shows up at your door.
 
Yes he was. He was taxed proportionally based on his entire annual salary of $33 million and at that taxable rate.
Which is a problem IMO because of the way players are paid. They get game checks. Their pay isn’t spread out over the entire year the only money Darnold or anyone playing in that game was paid was the bonus money. Their contract amount is for the regular season not POs.
 

Sam Darnold's barely-believable California tax bill revealed in the wake of Seahawks' Super Bowl win​



Sam Darnold’s insane California tax bill stunningly exceeds Super Bowl winnings​






Darnold's $249,000 tax bill is larger than his Super Bowl prize because that bill is on his TOTAL income of $35 million for the year divided by the percentage of games he played in the state, doofus.
 
Yeah but not in California
He didnt work in California for 8 days?

He did.

Most states have the "jock tax". But you didn't know that. You dont read things. You just react with your lizard brain to whatever is placed in front of you.

So, like I said, not taxed for $33 million. Just the pro rate of 8 days.

No, you don't know what you are talking about.
 
I don't? Only an idiot would imply he was taxed for the full year like you did.
I also didn't do that. In fact, I said exactly the opposite. But your'e kind of a dumb person and blind with troll rage.

The 33 million was for the regular season dumb ass. Players get paid the PO bonus because otherwise they wouldn’t be paid for playing those games. Don’t think Darnold would have made less money from his contract if they lost all 17 games and they didnt make the POs let alone the SB? CA is taxing money Darnold didn’t earn while in CA.

California has by far the highest jock tax rate of any having an NFL team. Blue states have the highest. Shazam. Red States either have a much lower rate or no jock tax at all.

You know what I am?
A student of history.
Pretty well read.
Reasonably smart.
A rational human being.
And, yes, Gavin Newsom and many in the leadership of the Democrat Party are Communists.
Oh, I know you'll say, "That's not true. They're not Stalin or Lenin or Mao or Pol Pot."
True enough.
Not YET anyway, although I think many of them show alarming signs of that kind of madness.
But no rational person thinks that somebody who comes to a state and wins $178,000 in the biggest sporting event of the year should LOSE money by owing a quarter million dollars to that state.
That is madness.
That is ******* stupid beyond words and guess who is 100% responsible for it?
The Democrat Party, which totally controls that godforsaken state.
Pull your head out of your ass, take a deep breath and realize just how ******* stupid and out of control your shit party is.

He's dumber than a box of erasers.
 
15th post
Many states with income taxes have the so-called Jock Tax. Players of out-of-state teams are taxed a portion of the income representing how much was earned in the taxing state. As the story indicated, California will hit Darnold's Super Bowl earnings for the 8 days spent in California.

Hitting non-residents folks with taxes is highly popular. It is often seen when taking a trip somewhere and being hit with added-on "tourist" taxes for hotel stays.
 
The poor baby makes a lousy $30 million a year. How’s he ever gonna get by?
 
So he "paid to play"? Can he file State taxes and get a refund? Some of it?
