We finally found a reason to link to The Toronto Sun.
This year the Raptors have a brand new, former all-star centre, in Jermaine O’Neal . He has been doing the rounds with the media, letting Torontonians get to know him, and guess what? He believes in spreading the wealth around a little bit too:
“O’Neal believes in taxing the rich to a greater degree.
And this comes from a guy who has two years and $44-million US remaining on his contract.
“I look at my family and not everyone is fortunate enough to enjoy the lifestyle I have,” O’Neal said.
“They’re getting hit and I’m all for taxing the wealthy even more. There has to be more support for the middle class and below. They, too, can receive a piece of the pie.
“I don’t believe in one particular segment of society enjoying all the fruits. You have to ensure that all people are enjoying life. Ultimately, it affects kids, who one day will be in positions to run our country.”
