I don't understand why a rich athlete would have a problem with the IRS. But I don't want to turn this into the political thread.

Does anyone really like paying taxes, regardless of the services they get in exchange?

Like mbedner said, its the notion of having to pay taxes period. I dont know of one single person that likes the IRS.

I'm sure at his pay he is paying around 33% tax on his income.

That would ONLY be his Federal Income Tax rate. After state, local, and all other federal taxes on investments, gifts, sales tax, real estate taxes, etc. a pro athlete will be around 60-65% of his income gone in taxes...and he hasn't paid his agent yet.
