Wow! Bryce Harper saved himself many $ millions by signing with the Philadelphia Phillies over any of the teams in the “Asshole of America” California. Companies also feel the pain caused by California’s greed.
Asshole of America California Losing $ Billions To Other US States With Less Libtard Caused Problems
This is just the very tip of the iceberg that out of control California is careening towards with their 13.3% state income tax rate, and countless other deal-breaking problems.
Why anyone in their right mind would ever even consider moving to California is beyond me! Might as well shoot your own dick off!
We predict that an astonishingly huge number of companies and other high income earners fleeing California in droves – causing California to raise taxes on those who are dumb enough to stick around.
With California’s crazy high taxes, human shit and piss filled streets, bums and drug addicts lining the roads in tents, people shooting up drugs in public, illegal immigrant criminals flooding the state, and more disgusting leftists than you could shake a stick at.. It’s definitely not my idea of home, that’s for sure!
Hell, I won’t even visit shithole California anymore. I’d rather go to Florida any day!
For Major League Baseball players, three teams are at the bottom of the standings on state taxes: the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants.
That’s because California is in a league of its own on personal income taxes. We’ve got by far the highest state rate in the nation, topping out at 13.3%.
By contrast, Pennsylvania has a low flat rate for every taxpayer regardless of income. It’s just 3.07%. That’s one reason why superstar slugger Bryce Harper signed an eye-popping 13-year, $330-million contract last week with the Philadelphia Phillies, spurning the Dodgers and Giants.
It was the largest free-agent deal in the history of North American sports.
Harper will save tens of millions in taxes by signing with the Phillies instead of a California team.
“With a contract of that magnitude, it’s dramatic,” Scott Boras, Harper’s agent, says of the taxes. “It could be almost a full year’s compensation.”
“The Giants, Dodgers and Padres are in the worst state income tax jurisdiction in all of baseball,” Boras adds. “Players really get hit.”
No one sheds tears over the tax burdens of multimillionaire young men who are blessed with enough athleticism to become fabulously rich playing a game.
But many diehard fans undoubtedly moaned because Harper didn’t choose the Dodgers or Giants, two teams that made strong pitches for him.
The Giants reportedly offered 12 years and $312 million, but were told they’d need to ante up more to compensate for California’s tax hit. The Dodgers reportedly offered fewer years, but higher annual salaries.
Game-changing stars have the ability to choose teams in low-tax states — even in no-tax states like Texas or Washington.
To what extent do California’s sky-high taxes drive players away?
“It’s a red light,” agent John Boggs says. “I’ve had players in the past say they don’t want to go to certain states because they’re going to get hammered by taxes. Obviously, that affects the bottom line.”
