Using the regressive tax argument, one could argue that billionaires who voluntarily buy Gulfstreams and Bentleys for their transportation pay a ridiculously progressive tax compared to us riff raff who voluntarily drive 10 year old Hondas.

Glad to see they are paying their fair share.

Intrinsically, I recognize an increase in the value of my Ohio diploma when there is increased success and national visibility in the men's revenue sports.
