Correction- Actually, the 30% is probably a little low but the point was made.

I did the number at 30%. Most of Romney’s money was from dividends and investments which would be taxed at a lower rate currently. Actually, the 30% is probably a little but but the point was made.

At a 15% tax rate he kept more like $440,000. Romney paid less than that, why wouldn’t this guy?

Let’s also not forget big brother getting his fair share. Joey V got about $370k after taxes. After, if he’s smart, paying off his house, any left over school loans and treating himself to a decent car there probably is not much left in the bank.

Durrrrr to answer your question if he is serious or not if you read the entire article you would know he was joking. Vitale is a stand up guy

This is where the people training under Gary Roberts suffer. Do you have any idea how much quinoa and organic chicken breasts cost compared to the day old bread Vitale is buying?!

I’m pretty sure that was a joke from Vitale. Lighten up, people.

1/2 million dollars last year and he is penny pinching on bread? I doubt he is serious.

I agree. Too many athletes blow all their cash. Seriously is good to hear about responsibility for a change.

An athlete who is responsible with his money? You go vitale.
