He only pays 63%. What a whiner. http://news.msn.com/pop-culture/mickelson-plans-drastic-changes-over-taxes
he makes what around 50 million a year? yeah not worth it if he is paying taxes, he should just retire rather than earn only 40% of that
Winning more tourneys and not being a choke artist would add more coin to his purse. Maybe he should focus his attention elsewhere (i.e. his performance, not his taxes). Just sayin'.
I think you guys are looking at this wrong. If you were told you could do the exact some thing you are doing, and make 25-50% more by moving, then why wouldn't you?
If he moves from San Diego to Las Vegas (4-5 hours drive), he will save like $3 million a year if he does make $20m a year.
It ain't all fun and games. He's a real pencil-pusher. (Haven't you ever seen that cheesy "Come Vistit California" commercial?)
Considering I visit CA 3-4 times per year, I know this. But you're trying to draw tourists - did you think you were going to show Arnold driving deep through Compton terminating every person in sight? CA does have everything in the commercial, so it's not like they're not showing real parts of CA (Disneyland, sunny beaches, wineries/vineyards, great golfing, surfing, etc).
People aren't that chippy though. Most of those celebs will tell you to fuck off if you bothered them in real life. LA, at least, is like the third world. "Hollywood" is a sewer.
It just seems to me that in a country like ours no one should have to pay more than 40% of their income to taxes.
Yeah, that was braniacs take. IMHO, if someone works hard and becomes the best at something and is compensated for it I just don't see why they must give up over 60% to a fraud ridden government.
So utterly clueless he actually expects the general public to feel sorry for him. Since it's clear he hates his country and is greatly offended by the exorbitant riches he's been allowed to hoard in return for not even actually ever working a day in his life, I say Bon Voyage! I think we all know he's talking out of his ass. He's going nowhere. Seems he's already feeling some pain for his disdain of his fans' welfare: http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/8868333/phil-mickelson-says-regrets-airing-opinion-taxes http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-phil-mickelson-apologizes-20130122,0,3251563.story
he has already backtracked from his comments, apparently it is more important to some of you than it is to him? point is, go ahead and move, or shelter your money or whatever...bitching about it is just that, being a bitch
Because environment trumps the illusion of monetary wealth, and I live in Beautiful Central Oregon. Nowhere on Earth I'd rather live. Phil's a hoarder, and until he's man enough to face his illness, he won't be happy no matter where he resides.
This. Exactly. Like him crying about it is going to get the sympathy of the American people. Hey Phil, you should have given us your addy during your rant, so we poor folk can send you checks.
