By choosing Miami Heat, LeBron James saves millions in state income taxes

When he announced his intent to sign a contract with the Miami Heat, Le­Bron James stressed winning championships, not cutting his taxes.

Even so, Florida economic boosters pounced on James’ decision as an opportunity to tout the state’s lack of an income tax.

"Make no mistake, Le­Bron James is as large as any corporation moving to our area," said Kelly Smallridge, president of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County.

Smallridge noted that James will save millions over the life of the five-year contract he’s expected to sign.

James entertained pitches from teams in six states. Five of those states – Illinois, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and California – impose income taxes. The highest rates on individuals in 2010 range from 3 percent in Illinois to 10.55 percent in California, according to the Tax Foundation.

If James signs a deal totaling $96 million over five years, his state income taxes would range from nothing with the Heat to nearly $2.9 million with the Chicago Bulls, roughly $8.6 million with the New York Knicks or New Jersey Nets and $10 million with the Los Angeles Clippers.

And those bills could increase if tax-strapped states raise their income tax rates. But an income tax in Florida is a near impossibility in the next five years.

Don’t forget city income taxes. Cleveland has a 2 percent income tax on top of Ohio’s income tax, while New York City’s income tax tops out at 3.65 percent.

"We think that’s why so many millionaires move to Florida," said Edie Ousley, spokeswoman for the Florida Chamber of Commerce.

GOD I LOVE FLORIDA!

Actually, this "hate the rich’ attitude is just too frequent. If someone finds a way to make money, what right have you to rob them ? Just because they have more than you ? That’s UnAmerican.
The real issue is that those that move to lower income tax states are doing so mainly obviously to avoid paying more of thier money out. But only those still making money do it. If your going to ‘hate the rich’ effectively, or get people to supposedly ‘pay thier fair share’, there are many of the rich whom don’t make all that much money through conventional means.
Take a look at the Aspen institute and the mean spirit toward Obama and the idea of taxing those with money but not making money and are rich.
Obama’s time is coming, choose which side of the fence you are on wisely.
Old people will have to pay more of thier dividends to the government as taxes increase form 15% to 40%
The responsible people earning a living will have to spend more on Obama care even though we were promised it wouldn’t increase our premiums. Not to mention this whole move the government has been making to eventually make insurance agencies insolvent and force them out of business.

This is long, but worth the read; Pass these odds on to others, too!
I know some people who have left already while others are waiting until they can smell oil, or no smell(methane gas) before deciding. To my way of thinking, it’s not too early to be looking for bug-out land up north – just in case. If the well continues spewing into winter, the odds of mandatory movement go up – and better me thinks to go on your own accord and by your own plans than a mass-packaged solution.
As long as we’re on it, a fair number of people have written in, in hushed conspiratorial tones – wondering whether the "George, does this Gulf spill lead to the government setting up REX-84 FEMA camps?"
Maybe. In the event of a higher level of global conflict, it’s possible. More likely, though, seems to me is that there’s a legitimate role for government to try and provide some level of housing, etc for disaster victims after events like the developing Gulf disaster.
Let’s do a mental exercise here: Say you have a family of four and no prospects, no income, and so on, and the smell of oil shows up.
Questions is: Is the federal government expected to provide some basic level of food & housing for disaster victims? I think so…unless I’ve got political winds judged all wrong.
Follow-up question: Based on what we saw in KatRita, would you trust your family’s fate to just a Wild West kind of tent/camper enclosed encampment, (I’ve seen that future of crowded families, don’t know which way is up or out, their lost in their own senses.) Or, would you rather
duke it out on the streets of a strange northern city in the middle of winter? Gangs, druggies, zombies, and maybe even local police who missed the Chamber of Commerce welcome training?
You see where this goes? On the one hand, government could actually have plans in its back pocket for resettlement centers and such, but whether they’d be prison camps — or simply be best efforts to help people — may depend on how your meds are holding out and if you listen to fear mongering.
Whether people will ever arrive at such possible future government ‘assistance centers’ from the Gulf Oil disaster, WW III, or terrorist attacks can be debated all day long. The further question is "Would such facilities be properly classed "prison camps" or would they be more along the lines of the CCC Camps of the last Depression?"
Then let’s ask if there aren’t political interests who raise money for opposition republicorp candidates (then then go promptly to the same corporate trough) by trying to whip up all kinds of fears about political enemies lists, and so on, in order to bolster their own agenda? Of course!
Figuring out where markets are going seems a better pursuit, since "He who pays the piper calls the tune." Such pursuits may sound base if downright immoral to some, but as a Cuban-American friend of mine taught me years ago: "We don’t have any problems revenue can’t fix…"

It’s -always- a good time to leave the Gulf Coast area. I know, I live on it. There’s really nothing here at all, and all the waters west of the Mississippi River are full of sewage (even before the BP disaster and the severe hurricanes five or so years ago).

Trust me, humans are not meant to live here. Marshes aren’t fun, floods aren’t fun, 100% humidity isn’t fun, and mosquitoes aren’t fun.

READ THIS: If you are truly serious about business affiliate marketing promotion internet online with advertising affiliate marketing programs.

There are hundreds of thousands of advertising affiliate marketing programs out there, all of which claim to be the best advertising affiliate marketing program. Many of them try to give you the impression that all you have to do is use their banners and links then wait for the money to start rolling in. Although this can be the case, this type of scenario normally applies to large sites with a lot of web traffic.

Choosing banners

With most advertising affiliate marketing programs, you are offered a variety of banners to plan on your website, as very few of them will be effective. The problems with most banners are their size. If you choose a banner that is high in size, it will take a long time to implement and use. Therefore, it’s recommended that you use banners no more than 15kb in size.

When you select any types of graphical advertising, you should try and keep the theme of your website in mind. Even though graphical ads are meant to stand out and catch people’s eye, they shouldn’t be to the point where everything else on the page is

completely ignored.

Pop ups and unders

A lot of companies will now give their affiliates the chance of using pop up or pop under ads. In most opinions, pop ups aren’t the way to go. They can easily annoy visitors and are normally closed before they even have the chance to load. You should instead go for pop unders and those types that only display once per visit.

Text link ads

Once of the most successful means of advertising is text link ads. They are easy on bandwidth, don’t use a lot of space, and they easily be implemented into most types of page layouts. Good text links offer some information as to why your visitor should investigate your offers.

Email Advertising

The direct promotion via email has really taken off over the last several years, although it has brought tons of spam with it. If you plan to use email as a method of advertising your products, you should stand behind what you sell and make yourself available to answer any questions.

The reality remains that most affiliates can’t deliver what they promise, and companies are aware of this.

Final thoughts, you should always keep in mind that most forms of advertising will take time. No matter what methods you plan to use, give it some time before you make any type of decision. Although something may not happen overnight – it very well could in a few days or weeks.
