The Rangers paying A-Rod’s salary wouldn’t have affected the taxes ... he’d still have to pay NY taxes on the salary. If a company in Texas pays you to work in NY, you still owe NY the taxes for earning money in their state.

I’m not an NBA fan but there is a ton of misinformation on this thread.
The NBA has a salary cap agreement with the players union.
LeBron can earn more more with the Cavs than he can any other place - about 30 million over the life of the contract.
In any event I hope this tax effect gets HUGE publicity.
I’m sure all these Baraq fans will enjoy paying more after the Bush tax cuts expire also.
If you work in Texas then your company sends you to NY State, somewhere, for a week or two, to fix whatever it is you fix....
...maybe you are SUPPOSE to pay tax, but I know lots of traveling repair people and none of them pay out of state taxes....and you would have to drag me kicking and screaming to pay those myself...
