Super-Rich Guy Phil Mickelson Apologizes For Complaining About All Those Taxes He Has To Pay For Being Super Rich

People and businesses are abandoning France because of its intended 75% tax rate, this guy complains about a 63% tax rate (also insane) yet he’s the bad guy? Most of the people who attack him for complaining about paying 63% would have a cow if they had to pay 63%. Whether you have $60 in the bank or $60 million, its still money you earned based on your performance and your decisions. He could have withdrawn from working and made much less, but he chose not to. But no matter how much he works or how much or little he makes, 63% of every dollar he earns goes “poof”. Many of the OWS protesters exclaimed why bother when asked to work for a normal wage. They want to be paid top dollar without having to have the skills or work ethic to make them worth it. This golfer has the work ethic, but he may also ask himself why bother to work so hard and at a level that earns him so much if 63% is going to be confiscated?

$60.5 million a year? For playing GOLF?

Okay I was up and down the other post on this so looks like I’ll come here now. Heh. But why would he stop golfing just because he’s getting taxed 63%? What do you mean why bother making millions? WTF?.. He could buy a $30,000 car every single day and still have what… $7 million left over? He’s the bad guy here because there’s no reason why a heavy hitter like himself needs to publicly fret about his tax rates. That is what he acknowledged. All of us complain about or taxes at one point or another. And who was he even complaining to when he originally said it? Surely not anyone making the kind of money he does. So oh boo hoo let’s be so sorry for the millionaire. I don’t buy it. Me personally, I make a little less than $50k a year. Thing is I absolutely love my standard of living. Life is fantastic. I think Phil’s complaining is just a result of being too used to his own life. It’s like.. you can’t have too much of a good thing, or it’s no longer a good thing anymore.

It’s still his money, period. If they start taxing anybody at that rate, sooner or later we’ll all be at that rate.

And would still make 10x the amount of money of an average American, even if he was taxed at 99%.

so let’s tax him more and more until he’s average just like the rest of us right? question…when he (and every other ‘evil’ millionaire are average like us…who will we tax then?

Nope, not right. I don’t want to tax him more and more. Just saying crying about paying 30% more of your money in taxes is absurd when you are making 100,000% more to begin with. Put that into perspective.
