Comments on: Cap on Payroll, tax payroll or tax the players? http://www.boltsmag.com/2004/08/18/cap-on-payroll-tax-payroll-or-tax-the-players/ Tampa Bay Lightning Weblog Tue, 17 Mar 2009 23:26:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Matt http://www.boltsmag.com/2004/08/18/cap-on-payroll-tax-payroll-or-tax-the-players/comment-page-1/#comment-271 Matt Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 /?p=299#comment-271 I doubt the players would be very hot on that one since they already ARE taxed: by the government. A direct attack on their finances by the NHL like that would be very unpopular. On taking sides, it is hard for me to sympathize with guys who make more every year than I'll probably make in my life but they are facing off against guys who make more a year then THEY will make in their life. Kind of the lesser of two evils, I guess. I doubt the players would be very hot on that one since they already ARE taxed: by the government.
