⚾ 🥎 Politics and sports colliding again. D-backs pitcher says "no, thank you" to San Diego ...

2.5% vs Cali's 13.3% plus 1%.

On a mill, 25K versus 143K? Uh, duh? Now do 143 X 40 (rumored 40 million dollar deal over two years.) 143X40=5720 ... just add more zeros.

And, BTW, it's my early opinion dude needs to fire his accountant. Deferments on income.

What income sources & how are you deferriing it?

If I were to live in California, (no desire) San Diego would be a nice place. IMO, California and most of the west coast should be its own country anyway.

Making CA another country would be fine, as long as we can seal the border.

Actually I'm flying out to San Diego next month. Wonder if I'll need my passport?

Look at how a lot of the Dodgers have structured their contracts. They take some and defer the rest. A move to another state changes the taxes on deferred. At least that's how I understand this and how LA has been working.

I thought California found a loop hole to still get the tax dollars on deferred payments when a person leaves the state (could be some kind of buyout process) I could be wrong on that, but I do know their tax laws are written very different than most states.

You may be right. I mentioned the Dodgers based on something I read a few years ago. If tax laws have changed in Cali since then? Ya, I'm not shocked.

@It Takes Eleven you know anything about this?
