This would be devastating to athletes. Take the NFL as an example. A player&#x27;s earning window is very short. Once their career is over, they often suffer from health problems and lack of training to do anything else. I don&#x27;t like the idea of taxing these guys at 70%+ when they&#x27;re giving up their bodies for money to last them a lifetime.<p>I know many athletes continue to get endorsements, speaking fees, and other income after their playing days are over. But that is only really significant money for the stars, and continues to decline as they age.<p>Obviously pro athletes are a very small percentage of the population, but it&#x27;s still interesting to consider how this impacts different professions.
