In response to the ongoing injury crisis plaguing the Philadelphia Phillies, the Democratic party has proposed a new policy that would increase taxes on the team. The proposed tax hike is meant to help offset the cost of the medical treatment and rehabilitation of injured players like first baseman Darick Hall, who is currently undergoing thumb surgery.
The proposed tax would be imposed on all tickets, merchandise, and concessions sold at Citizens Bank Park, and would be used to cover the medical expenses of injured players. The Democrats claim that the increased taxes are necessary to help the team remain competitive despite the rash of injuries.
Despite criticism from Republican legislators and fans, the Democrats have defended their proposed tax hike. “This is about doing the right thing for the team,” said Democratic leader Joe Dombrowski. “The Phillies have been in a tough spot for a few years now, and this is a way for us to help them stay afloat.”
The team has yet to comment on the proposed tax hike, but it is believed that the Phillies front office is not in favor of the new policy. Hall’s absence is expected to be measured in months rather than weeks, and the team is already struggling to fill the gap left by his absence.
It remains to be seen how the proposed tax hike will be received by fans, but it is clear that the Democrats are willing to do whatever it takes to help the Phillies stay competitive.
