Richard Burr: It's time to tax athletes

[Regular_P]

This gonna apply to academic scholarships as well?

 

[BlackAchilles]

Pay what you owe boy

[LurkMoar]

Don’t they pay taxes anyway?

 

[LurkMoar]

Partisan stunt that will go no where, he doesnt have 60 votes in the senate to pass the bill and the democratic house will never agree to it. Just another conservative rant

It’s crazy how much of American politics is basically race related.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Unless this guy gets money from NCAA, this is pathetic lol

 

[thelonious21]

This gonna apply to academic scholarships as well?

exactly

 

[broller]

Cac got sonned with those tweets

 

[Goat poster]

THE crazy thing is that he is so so anti tax in every other aspect of his political views.

But let young black kids get a chance to make money and that’s all out the window

 

[Lakerman0834]

I’m ok with it as long as they tax the NFL and churches let’s see how quickly they’ll fall back when that arguement is presented

 

[The War Report]

Republicans are the worst.

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

The school gets most of that scholarship though so I dont get it. They still aren't being directly paid by the school or the NCAA so you can't call it a work related scholarship. You really pressed to tax a small as refund check each semester if they get one? It's not even enough income to have to file taxes.

 

[Bigblackted4]

If their getting paid their going to get taxed, it’s common sense

 

[OfTheCross]

makes no sense. Athletes aren't the only ones that get scholarships

 

[Dwight Howard]

There gonna pay taxes on their earnings but the idea of taxing a scholarship in itself is completely absurd. And these are the folks that run shyt. Smh
