Do you know which visa Yao works with before he got his green card? Do you know what Chinese law says about taxing the people who don't live in the country? Do you know what USA law says about paying tax? Do you know USA is the probably the only country that requires its citizen to pay tax no matter where the citizen resides? If you don't know that, enjoy your commie-against-pray. What you don't know does not hurt you. That's exactly the case here.
I always try to tell anyone this who calls Yao "soft:" the man does not stop! The only "rest" he has gotten over the past several years has been when he was hurt - and even then he was probably rushing it to get back as soon as he could.
LOL. You are wrong on this. USA is probably the only one that requires its citizen to pay tax no matter where they reside. That's why you don't know. That's why you make up things out of imaginations.
http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2002/06/10/editorial3.html some article i found on the web. is this part true? " While it is impossible to put a specific figure on Ming's total contributions because of variables such as what he buys and where he buys it, the government's total haul -- including city, state, and federal levies -- will certainly be close to 50 percent of his income. In other words, while the Chinese government wants half of Ming's salary, so do we. Some may argue U.S. taxes are more applicable in this situation because Ming will be residing in this country, not China. Yet the U.S. taxes its citizens on overseas income, no matter where they lived when they earned it." Not gonna believe it just because some guy wrote it. but anyways, who cares? The question is will Yao play this summer?
enough of the "commie" crap already people! Yao is probably the biggest flag-waving "commie" in Houston. Hell - he actually did wave a "commie" flag in the Olympics for the whole world to see...
There is rumor that the surgery would reduce Yao's strength. I don't know the detail, but it sounded serious. Anyways, that's what journalists wrote. We know we cannot trust them.
You asked for sources, you were given sources, and you remained angry and said the sources were wrong. Your obviously well versed in Tax laws so I will have to take your word for it, I was not aware I was argueing with Yao Mings H&R Block Representative. Not all of us keep a mini-copy of the U.S. Tax Code behind our Pocket Protectors.
Ouch...I had not heard that. Hopefully it is minor. Well - as far as 'minor' goes in regards to shoulder surgery. that's still pretty major.
Shoulder surgery is not a fun thing to deal with, hopefully whatever is wrong with his shoulder can be fixed with a Summer of rest instead of going under the needle
Yao, the "commie" also has a restaurant, shows up in commercials with Verne Troyer, Charles Barkley and Dwayne Wade and makes more money for Les Alexander than steroids have made for Baseball. If he's the measure of a "commie," then Vlad Lenin is rolling over in his public grave.
The source is wrong. The author knows IRS is going to take away half of Yao's salary. He or she just assumed Chinese IRS would do the same thing. I bet he or she cannot read Chinese tax law. That's why people should read carefully: something the journalists wrote is fact: 50% to IRS (based on his or her taxing experience and knowledge); some is imagination: 50% to China (based on what??????). If you cannot read CHinese,common sense tells you that Yao will not lose 90-100% of his salary to tax; common sense tells you that IRS will not let Yao off the hook. Then who would compromise?
Everyone in chinese would be unhappy if Yao comes back and work in summer, except the stupid basketball association officials.
I think the point of the article was that those of us who find it abhorrent that Yao give half his salary to the PRC should look at their own tax system first..
