Well, that's nice of them. What about the rest of us?... [tweet]Clarion Ledger — Student athletes inking multimillion dollar name, image and likeness dealsin Mississippi could see their income become tax-exempt as early as next year.

The Mississippi House passed a bill to exclude NIL earnings from the state's income tax, which will be eliminated for all Mississippians in about a decade. The provision, said Rep. Trey Lamar, R-Senatobia, would make Mississippi an attractive destination for top athletes and give college coaches another recruiting perk.

"NIL is taking the country and coming by storm," he said. "Other states are doing it, and I believe it's time that Mississippi starts doing this as well."[/tweet]

Citizens of states doing this should be grabbing their pitchforks until all state income taxes are removed. For all. Not just the entitled.

excluding certain groups of people from the laws of the state is almost always a very bad move.

We’ve only had income tax for 100 years or so (1913). And when it started less than 1% paid it (hence the rhetoric that it only applies to the 1% is temporary and a Trojan horse as we should all know by now). We don’t need to charge property and income tax.
The truth is income and property tax are just there to complete the illusion that we have a hard money system, and to keep our prosperity and subsequently our freedom at bay.

Property tax means you never really own it. Income tax means you are a slave...plain and simple.

The 5th Amendment gives us the right to not rat ourselves out...bear witness against ourselves...think Miranda Warning. When you file a tax return you're giving up that right. Think about it.

Now that the gov has finally admitting aliens are amongst us and a new day seems to be dawning...maybe some of these federal judges will finally grow a pair and break with the banksters and the gangsters and stop railroading us into jail and stealing everything we own for what definitely IS a voluntary system.


Our system of taxation is based upon voluntary assessment and payment, not upon distraint.

Dude frick all this paying athletes and not taxing them so people can watch college football. Don’t Mississippi and Arkansas have bigger problems than paying college athletes, the .001% of them that are getting NIL income in those states at that.

Mississippi is already in the process of doing away with income tax for all residents. They are stepping it down each year and completely eliminated by 2030

MS will basically become a bigger wasteland than it is. Dumbest thing the poorest state in America could do.

Touchdown Tony you need to score a TD to really enjoy the reduction of taxes. I think it will eventually benefit MS. It may take a few years but it will help if they don't undo those changes.
