Obama Wins, the MLB continues to be stupid.

In fairness, not the MLB as a whole, more the agents and so called “high-dollar” talent.

See, when Obama takes office, apparently the highest tax bracket will see a raise from 35% to 39.5%

This is concerning apparently, as the average MLB player makes 3 million dollars a year. I’m not even sure which tax bracket this falls under, but lets say it’s in the top.

The average MLB player after taxes under Bush makes: 1,950,000 dollars.

The average MLB player after taxes under Obama would likely make: 1,815,000 dollars.

I know what you’re thinking. “Who is this Obama guy to make someone have to live on 1.8 million a year, is he crazy?” Yeah, I know right, I mean it must be so hard to work like 5 months a year, get a 7 month vacation, and make nearly 2 million dollars as a result. That must suck so bad. These poor guys. Just look how much they suffer.

I lost a little respect for espn for writing this article.
