Fred Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 There is something wrong with our priorities when a man playing a game can make that kind of money. I do believe in making what you can, I just find it sad the we are willing to subsidize that kind of income for that level of work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A son of ours was playing in a baseball tournament here locally when he was 12 or 13 years old, and the team that ran away with the tournament had a kid who flew in from Las Vegas to play with them. They already had a stacked team made up of some of the best players from around the Denver metro area, winning every local tournament they entered. And then this kid from Vegas shows up to further distance that team from the competition. Bryce Harper. He was well known around these parts, at least among that age group of competitive baseball teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article crunches the numbers on his contract and on what he will actually take home. “So, about 44 percent of the time, Bryce is working for the government – 4 out of 10 catches, 4 out of every 10 throws – wherever he is, he should just point towards DC and say, that one is for you.” https://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/bryce-harpers-330m-contract-how-much-will-he-owe-uncle-sam “How many catches and throws will baseball superstar Bryce Harper make for the federal and local state governments every year? Given his newly inked deal with the Philadelphia Phillies for $330 million over 13 years, if the “socialist Democrats” get their way, close to 90 percent of his work could be for free. His contract works out to be worth about $26 million per year. Under the current, what I call “beautiful,” tax code, if he only took the standard marital deduction of $24,000, he would owe Uncle Sam over $9.5 million per year – or just under the top rate of 37 percent. But this doesn’t reflect what he must pay to the states that charge their state income tax for the games that athletes play there. MORE FROM FOXBUSINESS.COM... So, every time Bryce plays against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres, he is likely paying the highest marginal state income tax in the country, at 13.3 percent in California (assuming over $1 million in compensation is attributable to his total California away games). His home playing field is a little better with a flat 3.07 percent of earnings paid to Pennsylvania. Then, the city of Philadelphia charges a "jock’" or wage tax - which is an additional 3.456 percent if he is not a Philly resident, or 3.88 percent if he is. Assuming half the season is played at home, then half his annual earnings -- or $13 million -- would make the city at least an additional $450,000. It is easy to see why nearly half of all baseball teams host spring training in the income-tax free state of Florida. So, his tax bill on $26,000,000 per year (using standard deductions) is $9.5 million. His cumulative state taxes for Pennsylvania should be about $450,000 and roughly another million for the rest of the states, and he is limited to only writing off $10,000 in SALT, state and local taxes, under the new tax code. That takes us to about $11.5 million in taxes of his $26 million, or a little over 44 percent. So, about 44 percent of the time, Bryce is working for the government – 4 out of 10 catches, 4 out of every 10 throws – wherever he is, he should just point towards DC and say, that one is for you.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ararar Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Seems to me he could have made more over the long haul if he had sign with Dodgers$190 million for 4 years would have made him 30 at its end.Im more than certain he would have gotten another contract worth more than $140 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
