Lefty vs. The Left
Phil Mickelson keeps apologizing for telling the truth about higher taxes.
A couple things of note from the world of golf this past week: Tiger Woods won his eighth tournament at Torrey Pines, and The Phil Mickelson Apology Tour is still, apparently, in full swing. Before playing some unexceptional rounds at the Farmers Insurance Open, the four-time major champion continued seeking forgiveness for earlier remarks about his taxes.
“I’ve made some dumb, dumb mistakes,” Mickelson chuckled, “and, obviously, talking about this stuff was one of them.”
For those who haven’t followed the story, Mickelson — nicknamed, “Lefty” for his big, left-handed swing — found himself in the center of a media firestorm earlier this month after suggesting that new state and federal income taxes may lead him to make “drastic changes” in his personal life.
When asked if such drastic changes might include leaving California or even relocating to Canada, the world’s 22nd-ranked golfer left the door open.
“There are going to be some drastic changes for me,” he said, “because I happen to be in that zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state and, you know, it doesn’t work for me right now. So I’m going to have to make some changes.”
Mickelson was referring to both federal tax increases and California’s recently passed Proposition 30, which retroactively raised taxes on the state’s highest earners.
“But if you add up,” Mickelson continued, “if you add up all the federal and you look at the disability and the unemployment and the Social Security and the state, my tax rate’s 62, 63 percent. So I’ve got to make some decisions on what I’m going to do.”
Naturally, the guardians of fiscal morality stepped forth to scold Mickelson for being everything from ungrateful to unpatriotic. Fearful of becoming America’s Gerard Depardieu, the French actor who recently fled to Russia to avoid his own country’s progressive taxes, Phil quickly began his interminable apologizing. By then, of course, the left-wing smear machine had been irreversibly activated.
Tom Ley, writing for the endlessly sanctimonious Deadspin, offered Mickelson his mock condolences. “Poor guy,” scoffs Ley, “He can’t even afford to buy a share of a baseball team anymore,” referring to the golfer’s previous interest in the San Diego Padres.
Michael Tomasky of the Daily Beast (which I think used to be Newsweek) offered his own financial insight. Tomasky, having recently finished reading a really good blog post, concluded that Mickelson must employ “America’s Dumbest Accountant” if he is actually paying north of 60% of his income in taxes. Surely, with the plethora of deductions and loopholes available to the rich, Phil has to be paying at least somewhat less than he claims.
Of course, it doesn’t really matter to the left whether Mickelson’s math is accurate or not. To the contrary, Tomasky points out that even if the golfer does fork over 63% of his earnings, that’s cool too. “Then the poor fellow was living on a mere $17.4 million last year,” he snarks.
And what about Lefty’s quick back peddling? Wasn’t his original apology sufficient?
“Just another reason to root against him,” pouts Tomasky.
If liberals have a problem with pro golfers relocating to tax-friendly destinations, they may want to start following a different sport. And we’re not just talking about Californians like Mickelson. In fact, over the past few years, Europe has watched helplessly as many of its most talented players flee to states like Florida for lucrative endorsements and a vastly improved tax climate. Heck, Europe’s Ryder Cup teams have been chock-full of ex-pats for years.
Peter Hanson? A Florida resident. Justin Rose? Florida again. Lee Westwood? You guessed it: The Sunshine State. Even Rory McIlroy, the world’s number one golfer, recently decided to ditch his home in Northern Ireland for a swanky new mansion in Palm Beach County.

California has balanced it's budget, and it's still a better state to live in than most of the red states.
And as to Europe, Canada, Australia etc.. it's much better to be poor and middle class in those places than to be in the United States. If you want to be ultra wealthy, by all means, live in the States.
Ron M.| 1.29.13 @ 8:45AM
To each their own, I left California in 1995 for Texas. I'm much happier in the Houston area than I was in L. A., it was too expensive and everything was over crowded then. I can't even guess what it's like now. The cost of living is 2/3rds or less and the schools generally better.
Pecos Pete| 1.29.13 @ 9:03AM
Compton is better? Bankrupts cities are better? High speed trains to nowhere are better? Bird droppings in La Jolla don't stink up the beach?
And, this year it will get even better with a super majority democrat legislature and Moonbeam at the controls.

Well, actually, I have lived in the hood before, but it was in Texas. Yes, I don't want to go back. I got out, like many people there want to. They also say there are too many guns on the streets, but what do they know.
Pecos Pete| 1.29.13 @ 12:03PM
Good riddance.
Anthony| 1.29.13 @ 2:15PM
Yeah, it's a bitch all those damn guns on the street. The Hartford Courant, our 3rd rate rag of a Connecticut paper, that has enjoyed being recognized by the big boys, as it enters its 40+ day of consecutive Newtown and gun control advocacy, has a different headline and story today.
The story deals with delays in 911 responses.Yes, it seems it now takes 2 HOURS for a 911 response in Connecticut.
Yeah, those damn guns, when precious seconds count, your 911 response is only hours away!! Unless of course your a pol with a phalnx of security guards.
Your hands will indeed be cold and dead by the time the cops show up. Thank you American left, another example of your thoughtless, mindless thinking.
I only hope you zealots are the only ones who don't have a firearm when the shit hits the fan.
Anthony| 1.29.13 @ 2:42PM
Oh, I forgot to mention, the Hartford Courant published this article without a hint of irony as to its insane, over the top, gun control advocacy.
Yep, the American left, arrogant and ignorant, but never in doubt.

Great comment for the ignorant. Cali's budget is balanced on paper and only if you forget about the $28 billion of debt and completely ignore long-term pension and retiree health care costs. Of course this also takes into account that none of the wealthy are going to leave or find additional tax shelters. On paper dumbass, wait until the end of the year and the hidden news story of an unexpected budget shortfall. You're to stupid to even be a lemming.
TLP| 1.29.13 @ 1:31PM

"California has Balanced their Budget" is right up there with Unemployment is around 7%. Al Qaeda is on the run. We don't have a Spending Problem. Our Deficits aren't High Enough. Printing Money is Good. Buying up our own Debt is Good. And, there is No Inflation.

Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 1.29.13 @ 7:15AM
Governor Brown's balanced budget is all smoke and mirrors and more on that in a moment.
Yes, it's a marvel to watch the main stream media attack the white guy for wanting to do what the black guy already did and probably saved millions in the process of moving to Florida.
Mickelson needs to get some guts and you can't buy that with higher taxes or any other way. You have to get character and his character is apparently weak.
Here's the smoke and mirrors in the California budget:
http://www.atr.org/californias.....rors-a7437
“For all of Gov. Brown’s talk about spending cuts and ‘fiscal discipline,’ his budget forecasts a 5 percent jump in state spending, rising from $93 billion in 2012‑13 to $97.7 billion in 2013‑14.”
But those figures don’t tell the whole story, as Gilroy points out:
“You need to add in all the other spending that is not included in those numbers: nearly $41 billion in special funds and over $7 billion in bond funds. Suddenly, the state is spending over $145 billion in 2013-14, not $97.7 billion.”
Despite boisterous claims from the Department of Finance that California has already paid down their debt to less than $28 billion, that figure does not include the state’s mountain of unfunded pension and benefit liabilities, which total around $181 billion . . . .

Phil Mickelson would make a fine Republican Speaker of the House.
Moe Blotz| 1.29.13 @ 7:29AM
How would Phil Mickelson's critics like to be left with 37 cents from every dollar they earned?
Arnie| 1.29.13 @ 7:46AM
And how would they react to know he still has tens of millions of dollars after still paying those taxes.
Me thinks they won't be too sympathetic. Though I'll try to cry for the multimillion dollar a year earning white male golfer.
Pecos Pete| 1.29.13 @ 9:05AM
Arnie, why not confiscate 99% of Mickelson's money? Oh wait, maybe that would leave him with too much?
Stupid Communist Village Idiot Arnie: Stuck on Stupid.
Arnie| 1.29.13 @ 10:31AM
No, 63 percent is about right. But if need be, his top marginal rate could be 90. So what? He'll still be left with millions of dollars. He'll still have big house, lots of cars, nice clothes, and a healthy retirement. He'll be ok.
SeymourGlass| 1.29.13 @ 12:43PM
Arnie: you're forgetting that it's more important Phil can choose how to spend his money than it be used, against his will, to help those less advantaged than he.
TLP| 1.29.13 @ 1:37PM
Keeping 37 cents of everything you earn is Bullsh* t.
And, if you don't believe that?
You might wanna get an MRI on your head.
Kwan| 1.29.13 @ 1:17PM
Don't you get it Pecos Awnie da Retard thinks (if you can call it that) that Phil and those other rich criminals should have 63% of their income confiscated so that Obama can hand it out to the deadbeat bums that vote for him. Isn't that why we're all working hard, so that Obama can have enough money to support these parasites.
TLP| 1.29.13 @ 1:41PM
Mr. Kwan.
Maybe someone should explain to Arnieshitferbrains why he thinks that the National Parks post signs that read: DON'T FEED THE BEARS.

The welfare queens in America's inner cities need those ObamaBucks so they can keep breeding replacement gangbangers for the gangbangers that already got whacked in the never ending ghetto gang wars. Is this what they call throwing money down a rat hole. Obama and Awnie would call it investing in America's future. Sane people call it insanity.
Contest time. Prizes, Fame and Fortune for the lucky winner. For the losers despair and thoughts of committing suicide.

TLP| 1.29.13 @ 1:44PM
Don't take it all.
Just take 63 % of it.
Unfortunately, that would probably just mean taking all of his stacks of Democrat Talking Points, his Hand Lotion, and all of his old Boys Life Magazines.
Arnie| 1.29.13 @ 7:36AM
Perhaps Bill. But what are special funds?? Anyway, Cali claims to not be running a deficit, which is true. Of course, there are unfounded future liabilities, but there is also future revenue.
Even the Chamber of Commerce agrees with the budget. They aren't exactly socialists.
http://www.kpbs.org/news/2013/.....ced-budge/
Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 1.29.13 @ 8:03AM
Opinions vary:
http://reason.org/news/show/ca.....lance-myth
The budget Brown proposed Thursday addresses only a small portion of the overall debt, which stems from the same types of bills that drove cities like Vallejo, Stockton and San Bernardino into bankruptcy. The state is likely to find its debt consuming an ever larger share of money meant for the basic needs of government.
The “crushing load of debt” is just one of the elephants in the room. The Department of Finance puts it this way:
In 2013‑14 alone, the state will dedicate $4.2 billion to repay this budgetary borrowing—paying for the expenses of the past, instead of meeting current needs. Moving forward, continuing to pay down the Wall of Debt is key to increasing the state’s fiscal capacity. In 2011, the level of outstanding budgetary borrowing totaled $35 billion.
Of course that doesn’t include government employee pension and health benefits that have been promised but not yet funded. California estimates its unfunded pension and benefit liabilities total around $181 billion. Stanford University research, however, pegs the unfunded liabilities of California’s largest state pension systems a lot higher:
That figure represents an unfunded amount per household of nearly $24,000. Using a low-risk, or riskfree, discount rate, the combined unfunded liability for these three systems reaches $497.9 billion.
Arnie| 1.29.13 @ 8:27AM
In the end, I think California will be ok, if it uses a balanced approach of cuts ( yes, 6 figure pensions for some retirees is ridiculous), and tax hikes, which I would say should mostly come from those large properties along the coast. Yes, tax the shit out of Hollywood.
c. j. acworth| 1.29.13 @ 8:56AM

Minuteman78| 1.29.13 @ 8:23AM
What the lefties don't get and will apparently never get, is that increasing taxes on income will drive producers of income to move to places where it is less conficsatory.
It's no surprise that Texas, with 0% Income Tax has created just about half of all jobs in the U.S. since Obummer took office. And Golfers go there too, as you can play golf 365 there.
That being said, Texas makes up for it through property tax, but that means if Phil builds a 15,000 square foot palace, he pays at least 10 times more in taxes than the retiree with their comfortable 1,500 square foot ranch.
The whole point it income taxes go directly to government, which inefficiently and politically spreads it around after taking their administrative "Cut". I'd rather see it get directly invested in businesses which produce things of value, and THEn and ONLY THEN, if successful, will pay a business income tax. But the socialist/marxist pinheads like Obozo will never understand that, or even if they do, it's not about economic growth or overall societal well-being - it's all about control, just like Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot, Mussolini, and Stalin. There, I said it, come get me...
Murl| 1.29.13 @ 1:32PM
The one part of the argument that is missing here is that income tax for people is temporary, while property tax is permanent. Your income tax can fluxuate, based on...well...duh...income. Property tax is static, and is charged at the value of the property you "own" (I put "own" in quotes, because you never really own your property in America now do you? Don't believe me - skip a property tax payment this year and see how long you "own" your house).
What is interesting to me are all of the retirees that flock to Florida AFTER they are done collecting in income, only to be hit with a higher property tax bill in Florida. Granted, Florida's property taxes are actually competitive with other states, especially with a homestead exemption. Seems to me that retirees would do well to retire to a state where property taxes were lowest. State income tax becomes irrelevent after you "retire", essentially giving you a 0% rate no matter where you choose to "retire".

DerKrieger| 1.29.13 @ 8:46AM
Arnie makes the typically socialist argument that just because a rich person will still be rich after having the majority if his income confiscated that the confiscation is justifiable.
Wrong Arnie. Excessive taxation is immoral regardless of the wealth of the taxed. By what right does any government lay a larger caim to a person's income than the reason who actually earned it?
Liberalism, socialism, fascism, progressivsm, whatever you want to call it is morally repugnant because it always seeks to subordinate the individual to the state and to the collective and to punish the successful through heavy taxation.
No American owes anything to his fellow Americans except the recognition and respect of their God given rights. No wealthy reason owes a single poor person anything and it's absolutely disgusting to suggest otherwise.
What has a welfare recipient done to lay any claim to Phil Mikkelson's income? Nothing!
You're a sick individual Arnie. You surely would have been on the side of England during the Revolution.

Render up to Caesar etc. Human life is not only about politics and economics, and even just about culture. Each person who chooses to live in the state of X, the city of Y, the house on Z street, is all about---himself. Of course, family is preprogrammed to be an essential aspect of “himself”, until and unless he wakes up.
Therefore, trying to make sense of the melting (or not) pot of ANY collection of humans within ANY boundaries, say what’s known as California, is rife with potential for missing the big picture. First, California qua a state is a legal fiction.
Picture it as broken up into fifty or a hundred Rhode Islands. Actually, de facto that about sums up the woe-is-me take from our war correspondent in Selma.
When I was a radical at UCSB, from 1969-72, suicidally affected by Paul Ehrlich’s “Population Bomb”, and so many other leftist sources, the disparity between a place like India and the USA always “felt” so bad. Why is the world so cruel? What can I do?
One idea floating around was to somehow just find a way to ship our JUNK, epitomized by a car that’s stopped working, to the eager beaver Indians. They’d be motivated and find a way to make good use of it! (An aside---who knew I, myself, would later own an old Toyota truck, and end up going to many junkyards to find useful old parts, to keep it running?)
Who Knows?| 1.29.13 @ 11:21AM
Well, maybe “India” and “Mexico” are, in effect, just coming to California---since we can’t ship our crap THERE (too expensive), the answer is for human beings from those places, that are WORSE than our junkyards, to come HERE.
Maybe it’ll all work itself out, in the next hundred or thousand years. We’ll always have Paris---no, “California” will always have the weather and the land, and despite the ruination currently happening, both in political and economical terms, the boundaried Earth with that name will triumph.
California UNBOUND is a’coming.

As always Conservatives don't 'Get it', and missed Mickelson's biggest point, where he said, "We Tax Hard Work not Wealth", that was the REAL takeaway, what he was saying is why Should Mittens pay 13% in retirement and I have to pay this high rate...I agree.

JD| 1.29.13 @ 6:45PM
That's preposterous.
First off, 80% of Americans have an effective federal tax rate under 13%. Most Leftists are simply too stupid/dishonest to do an apples-to-apples comparison, and instead compare Romney's effective federal tax rate to someone else's marginal bracket, or something else that's not the same.
But more than that, Romney pays millions of dollars in taxes per year and doesn't get nearly equal value in return from the government. He's subsidizing the lives of many others who get more than they pay for.
You Leftists, in your great dishonesty, work to ingrain in the minds of all the absurd notion that a radically "progressive" portion of a person's income is the "fair" tax, and that deviations from this are unfair gifts to the rich. This is very far from the truth. Though you deny being represented by a blanket "You didn't build that!" quote, it fits you perfectly, for only by suggesting that all wealth would not exist but for the grace of government can you justify your tax ideology.
You owe Mitt Romney a thank you for submitting to your economic slavery. He could easily leave the country and pay you nothing.
whosiwhatizt| 1.29.13 @ 11:46AM
Mickelson is only one man. Some other wealthy Californians who do not have the notoriety of Mickelson will simply leave. No fanfare. No public announcement or apology - they will simply relocate. Those with the ability to do so may even opt to have an extra home outside of the US - just in case. Mickelson can do what he wants. If he prefers to stay and be taxed, that's his priviledge. He will hold no sway over others who choose differently.

Petronius| 1.29.13 @ 12:33PM
There is only one formula for not paying taxes in the United States today. Don't make any money; visibly and on the record. Mickelson's income is Earned, and taxable at the maximum rates. He should quit giving any consideration to what the envious vindictive media says about him and vote with his feet. And when he plays in California, New York, or other states like Illinois with confiscatory tax rates, he should only accept $1 in prize money unless he wins the tournament. That way he costs those states money in tax accounting costs. Another thing he can do is pull his charitable foundation and all disbursements from it out of California and spend it in places which don't insult his talent and generosity. The trouble with him is he was a privileged kid and has no street smarts. The First and greatest Law of the Streets is Never take any shit from anybody.
