Nice deflection, Chuck. The states with these taxes are overwhelmingly Democrat and if the state government is dominated by Republicans, there are still cities like Cleveland, Detroit, Washington DC and Philadelphia who do it on their own.
Florida, Texas, Washington and Tennessee have major sports teams and no personal income tax. Somehow, Tennessee still decided to tax out-of-state athletes. That's because it's an easy money grab and the victims have no way to fight back.
It's actually not that different than the hotel and car rental tax that Houston and many other municipalities levy - tax the people who cannot vote against you. They'd tax babies if they thought there was any money to made from it.
