Oops.

Seems the beloved Cap'n Jetes has been behaving badly, not paying New York income taxes between 2001 and 2003 while supposedly living in Manhattan.

Now, as a borderline libertarian, I tend to feel that taxes are stupid and inefficient, and I can completely understand why Jeter wanted to claim to be a Florida resident rather than a New York one. Since Floridians don't pay income tax, I would guess that the captain was looking at about a 50% increase in after-tax dough by calling his home in Florida his permanent abode. Also, I would bet that the line between "summer home" and "permanent residence" is pretty thin for a guy who spends winters and springs near Tampa but makes a living in the Bronx.

But really, Jetes, if you're living in New York for a few years ... pay your fuckin' taxes. Everybody else does, and they generally make way less money than you do.
