Phil Mickelson leaving Cali.

[Armistead]

Said he was sick of the high taxes and thinking of leaving Cali, taxes will go up another 6 million for him this year. Just saw it on Fox....

I do not even know who Phil Mickelson is.Doing a quick search I know why he is a golfer the hugest waste of perfectly good land ever created by human beings.

I don't think Phil Mickelson's tax bill is going to force him to move out of his multi-million dollar home. And if his tax bill is really that big of an issue, he needs new accountants.

Dang, man, 63% :dead: Will the govt ever be satisfied?

He backtracked (http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/25/opinion/mccaffery-mickelson-taxes/index.html?hpt=hp_c1), and I think in an honorable way.

We should be taxing the act of spending, not the socially beneficial ones of work and savings.

If you take 63% of my income, I want 3 votes for every 1 vote Joe the Plumber casts. :cool:

People leave California every day for a multitude of reasons, why is this especially noteworthy?

I don't mind Joe the plumber getting to vote(if he pays in), but people that don't pay in shouldn't get a national vote, they should still get to vote about in state matters if they're in a state that collects sales tax.

Are you saying that people that hide their wealth should not get the right to vote or people that do not pay into federal taxes period or only a homeless man should loose his right?

Also either way I am confused as to why a person should be denied the right to vote on a national level but should still be able to on a state level if that state has an income tax. :hmmm:

[em2nought]

I'm saying that if you don't pay into whatever system it is, then you shouldn't have a say in how it operates or doles out money. Maybe it should even be a threshold of something like $1000 or so. :up:

[Catfish]

Whoever Mickelson is, he could go to Russia to escape taxes, like french actor Gérard Depardieu:

Well then you cover everyone because no matter the program even the people that cheat the system wind up paying in $1,000.00 when they really should pay more in.What about a person that has paid their fair share but has become disabled or has become unemployed dose their previous pay ins count or do they loose their right when they cant pay in anymore?Of course a person receiving SS that is above retirement age still must pay.
