Default Jock Tax and the Super Bowl

Cam Newton will pay the State of California $137,000 in state income tax despite not being a resident of the state.

I don't cry for the wealthy too often, but this is just absurd. The Federal Government should create guidelines to regulate this kind of thing. There is no way a State government should be able to create laws that regulate citizens of other states. At best it is taxation without representation of any kind, at worst it is robbery.
