Please tell me this is some sort of a sick joke.
Phil Mickelson is a professional golfer. He makes
boatloads of money. Millions. What’s more, he makes boatloads of money for a
lot of other people in the process, including generating massive contributions
to charity. He’s a jobs creator and an engine of economic growth, as are many
other pro golfers and athletes.
So Mickelson takes a look at his income tax burden, and
is displeased. First we have Obama and the Democrats riding roughshod over the
GOP and enacting a 4.6% tax increase on the evil rich. Then we have the voters
of California doing what the voters of California have been doing – shooting
themselves in the foot – by passing a ballot measure to raise state income
taxes on the dastardly rich by another 3.32%. Now Mickelson is facing an income
tax burden somewhere between 62 and 63%.
Mickelson is a smart guy, and he hires other smart guys
to help him make economic decisions. These other smart guys undoubtedly told
Phil to put his clubs in a bag and get the hell out of California. Do what most
of the other pro golfers have done, more to Florida. No state income tax. Right
there his tax burden goes down by 13.3%, not to mention the advantages in
estate taxes and ad valorem property taxes. Trust me. I know.
So Mickelson suggests that he is going to have to make
some “drastic changes” due to “what’s gone on in the last few months
politically” and being “targeted both federally and by the state.” And now –
guess what? Phil Mickelson is the personification of evil for suggesting he’s
going to do what tens of thousands of Californians have done … cast his next
vote with his feet. Mickelson gets hammered by the ObamaMedia and finally
sidles up to the microphone and apologizes. He apologizes --- please sit down
for this – to anyone he might have “upset or insulted.”
Whisky Tango Foxtrot!
How upside down can things be in America? Mickelson is
being called “greedy.” Really? So now we define “greed” as wanting to keep more
of the money you earn? If that’s greed, what do you call the moochers who go to
the poll to vote for the politician that’s going to take that money away from
you and give it to them? Oh wait! I know! Obama voters!
Well … since the proggies are demanding apologies from
Mickelson, I think there are a few people I would like to see apologize my own
self!
Let’s start with Angel Adams. Maybe you don’t remember
her. The lovely and quite fertile Angel was found living in a motel room in
Tampa with 12 of her 15 children by three different fathers. When the child
welfare folks showed up with TV news crews in tow, she looked into the camera
and announced “Somebody needs to pay for all my children. Somebody needs to be
held accountable, and they need to pay!” No … not kidding. Here’s the video.
Angel, by the way, has now downloaded No. 16 and was charged last October for
battery on a police officer. Maybe Angel should be the one to hold a press
conference and apologize to America on behalf of every woman who became
pregnant by a man to whom she was not married, and then had a baby she knew she
could not afford to raise.
I’d like an apology as well from all of those people who
have been studiously avoiding taking a job until their unemployment benefits
run completely out. You’re bleeding the system dry. So apologize!
An apology is also due from the leaches who have been
scamming the IRS for their Earned Income Tax Credit checks. EITC fraud is the
most prevalent type of tax fraud in the US, costing the taxpayers hundreds of
millions a year. Just fail to declare all your income and claim some extra dependents
and the checks come flowing in! We dare not pursue these cheats, though,
because that would be insensitive towards the poor. How about an apology you
tax cheats!
While we’re at it, maybe the wizened citizens of Boca
Raton, Florida who have been shown to treat their weekly visits to their doctor
– paid for by Medicare – as really nothing more than a regular social gathering
would like to apologize.
Those of you who chose drugs as your escape from reality
… would you like to apologize for what you’ve cost society in terms of crime
and social services?
Oh yeah … this list could go on for quite a while. The
trouble is, the folks who really should be apologizing are favored
constituencies of leftist politicians, while the folks we should apologize TO
for plundering their wealth are greedy and the objects of constant derision and
ridicule.
So, Phil. You’ve learned your lesson, right? Do what you
have to do to escape the moochers, leaches and parasites --- but hush about it.
The predators get outraged when the prey escapes. I suspect we’ll be seeing you
in Florida real soon.
