I think he was referring to the fact that just because you're an expatriate doesn't mean you still don't have to pay US taxes. You do. There are exclusions and ways to reduce the amount you have to pay (and in some case, eliminate, depending on how much you're making in the first place). I am no expert in tax, so I'm just throwing stuff out there, but I'd imagine and American player, who will likely spend, what 6 months of the year overseas before coming home to live, and who is making as much money as being discussed, will still take a decent tax hit from the American Government.
Yeah Europe takes that into consideration, and helps pay down those American taxes. In addition to any European taxes. That's why Childress left. Because at the end of the day, he's going to making just about, $20M
