"Darnold net loses $14k in Cali taxes for winning Super Bowl"

I did my own math and I think it's more like 2k.

Holler back the next time you turn down $188,000 because of the $2,000 Participation Trophy Fee.

#4 Lying by omission seems like one of bell boi's signature moves.

It is, but this is a meme that's been going around on right wing social media.
Not to say he didn't think it up himself!

California taxes you on money you make in California. New York City does the same thing. When I was a kid, mom was paying New York City income tax on her New York City job while living in New Jersey.

I can't remember if California technically taxes everybody (non-Californian) like this, or if it's targeted at high salary people like pro athletes and Taylor Swift. So if California is being discretionary, then California is actually better than NYC, if you think this is unfair. Unless you think it's extra unfair to only tax the rich, which Republicans probably do.

"How about we start taxing the uber-wealthy who have, for the past 40 years, been able to dodge their financial responsibilities that provide them with a country that protects them and their money and their property?"

^
They don't accept that these "financial responsibilities" exist.
They only ask what their country can do for them.
They don't ask what they can do for their country.

They fundamentally reject the idea that the government should be in the business of making America a better place.
Except they also say that's what ICE is doing.

America needs to stop helping the poor and instead starve them out, like we did the Indians.

"a $212k tax bill for working one week"

Hard to say.
How much did he make that week?

"For those that don't want to do math, he made $75k for winning as opposed to losing, and he's paying $14k in taxes on that bonus."

The bonus ain't much. He's on a 35 million a year contract. $105M over three years, before incentives.

From California's point of view:
He made a lot more playing in the Super Bowl, than he did getting the bonus for winning the Super Bowl.

He makes 30 million a year, he works X days a year, he spend Y of those days working in California, he owes California Y/X income tax.

I don't know how many days a quarterback works in a year but let's say it's 250 like a top tier job. Eight, I believe, were in CA. With the bonus that's $1.3M. The tax bill is $202K.

I suppose it's a little steep to pay 15.5% state tax. On paper the highest rate for California residents is 13.3%. I hope he can cry himself to sleep as well as the children in ICE detention do.
