How much MLB pitcher Merrill Kelly saves in taxes by spurning California contract for Arizona
New York Post graphic
I don't give a shit how much money ya got - the difference is startling - over two million bucks a year. Major League Baseball star Merrill Kelly will pocket nearly $2.5 million more per year over the next two seasons of his $40 million deal by signing in Arizona instead of California.
The massive difference in cash reflects the spread in state income taxes as well as California’s disability insurance levy and typical property tax differences on a luxury home.
However, the overwhelming driver of the disparity is state income tax.
California’s top marginal rate reaches 13.3% — a 12.3% bracket plus an additional 1% Mental Health Services Tax on income above $1 million. On a $20 million salary, that translates to roughly $2.63 million owed to the state.

Same bullshit, diferent situation, right Billy?
Bill Clinton denied having sex with a mystery woman photographed with him in a hot tub as part of the Jeffrey Epstein files release and insisted he did “nothing wrong.” During his deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Friday, Clinton was pressed on the racy photo where he was snapped reclining nearly naked in a hot tub with an unidentified woman at his waist. Clinton denied knowing who the woman was and told lawmakers under oath he did not have sexual relations with her, according to a source familiar with his testimony.
The photos were one of the many topics lawmakers pressed Clinton on during his roughtly six-hour deposition at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, where the former president was asked about his relationship with the dead pedophile, his travel on Epstein’s plane, and about conversations he had with President Trump on Epstein.
Blizzard revenge? Never heard of it. Until now...
A Queens, New York guy was caught on camera burying his neighbor’s car in a mountain of snow amid a long-simmering feud that boiled over during this week’s blizzard. Paula Macias told PIX11 the trouble began Sunday night when she and her husband were cleaning off their Nissan Rogue in early stages of the snowstorm, which dropped nearly 20 inches in Central Park.
The couple’s dog, a Belgian Shephard, was barking at the time, which prompted the neighbor to hurl snow onto their vehicle. Macias and her hubby asked the man - who was shoveling off another resident’s driveway - to cut it out. But he snapped, telling the duo to “shut the fuck up,” according to Macias.
The next morning, the couple found their red SUV completely covered in a mound of snow, which took over two hours to dig out.

Bill Gates has been dragged back into the scandal surrounding sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein following the latest tranche of evidence from the pedophile's estate. The Microsoft founder was again featured in images released this week, part of an ongoing disclosure from House Democrats offering a new glimpse into Epstein's ties to the rich and powerful. In undated images from the latest tranche, Gates is seen with two women whose faces were blurred. Gates has persistently downplayed his ties to the sex trafficker in the past, however his place in the latest trove of Epstein evidence has cast fresh scrutiny on his claims they merely shared 'several dinners' together as he has previously suggested.

California's tax laws making sports there a bad idea?
Once California tax laws entered the equation, two was greater than three for Merrill Kelly. The math was done by the veteran pitcher at some point this offseason, when he was a free agent deciding between two options for his MLB future. No. 1 was a two-year, $40 million contract with the Diamondbacks. No. 2, at least on paper, seemed better.
When it came down to the Padres and Diamondbacks for Merrill Kelly this offseason, he said he chose Arizona due to California’s tax laws. It was a three-year, fully guaranteed deal with the Padres that appeared to have a similar average annual value.
Kelly, though, chose the former - and during a sitdown interview , he explained the decision was almost entirely due to the Golden State’s tax system. “I don’t think it’s any secret on how much money you get taken out of your pocket when you go to California,” the 37-year-old right-hander said.

Somebody has to explain this to me...
Clay Bennet, as it happens, is a very good cartoon artist. That being said, he's also a screaming leftie who never, ever has anything good to say about anything Trumpian. This is a prime example of his slant - you can see without me explaining it wat he saying here - if the Act passes, people will 'lose their right to vote'. That's 110% bullshit and we all know it.
I mean, ferfucksake, Mamdani needed people to shovel snow in New York, but they had to provide not one, but two formal forms of ID plus a social security card too shovel fuckin' snow, but in their world you don't need to prove who you are to vote? It's like that other bullshit claim that married women won't be able to vote. Why do they say shit like this? We know - and they know - they're lying, trying to make a point that can't be made logically. It's tiresome.
Here's just of a few of things you need an ID for:
Boarding domestic commercial flights, entering secure federal facilities, and entering military bases. Renewing a license, voting in elections, registering a vehicle, and applying for government benefits. Opening a bank account, starting a new job, signing a lease, or applying for a loan. Buying alcohol, tobacco, or cannabis, entering bars/clubs, and purchasing certain medicines. Picking up prescriptions, checking into hotels, visiting a hospital, and taking tests (like the SAT).
But you don't need an ID to vote, Go fuck yourself. Juss' sayin'...
