For more than two centuries, “no taxation without representation” has served as a powerful political slogan. It conveys a basic idea that lies at the heart of democracy: governments shouldn’t tax those who are denied representation.
Could the slogan now empower New Jersey Devils right wing Kyle Palmieri and Buffalo Sabres center Scott Wilson to put Pittsburgh’s “jock tax” on ice?
The two players, along with former Major League Baseball outfielder Jeff Francoeur and the players’ associations for NHL, MLB and NFL players, recently filed a complaint in an Allegheny County (PA) court against the City of Pittsburgh.
