I’m “UPSET” that Mikelson “INSULTED” me. I believed that he was taking a principles stand on the increasing burden of taxation.

Instead the only “stand” he took was at the urinal of cowardice.

Damned. Is there anyone out there in America who will take a principaled stand and stick with it, or have we become a nation of craven, mealy-mouthed cowards and fops?

Phil is a great golfer and a nice guy. But a job creator he is not. None of the highly paid sports stars are job creators. They are entertainers who extract dollars from fans. Only real job creators are those who start or expand a business which provides a useful service or products which people can use. They sign checks on the front. Once the game is finished, the sports fans go home sans their ticket price money.

Phil Mickelson was born in San Diego so presumably has lots of family ties and friends that keep him in California. In this age of OZERO obeisance he should have shut his mouth and let his money do the talking by moving to zero income tax Nevada or Florida

Phil Mickelson has a Net Worth of $180 Million other sites say $150 million. This excites a lot of jealousy and revenge in the Obama era
Being a super one percenter he should have shut up and moved. To a zero tax state. It obviously had not sunk in that OZero and his zombie hordes won

[TigersEye]

He should double down and complain louder.

[proud American in Canada]

bttt for later reading; who can blame him? There will be more of this to come, I bet, in Obama’s second term.

Phil should take all his money and buy sugar plantations. His product price will be 100% protected by the government and he can hire illegal aliens by the thousands to do slave labor, while spreading their social costs on everybody else.

Of course, Phil didn’t “apologize” for what he said, merely that he said it out loud.

[cripplecreek]

I don’t care if he apologized or not. I suspect he’ll be moving to someplace cheaper soon.

[Dixie Yooper]

No one on The Tour is more affected by what the public thinks of him than Phil. This is nothing more than him trying to get a feel for what his fans want him to do...

"we have Obama and the Democrats riding roughshod over the GOP and enacting a 4.6% tax increase on the evil rich."

Not to quibble, Neil, but increasing a 35% tax rate by 4.6% to 39.4% is a 13% tax increase.

When a Catholic sins and confesses that sin to his priest, he is often asked to make atonement by repeatedly reciting “Hail Marys and Our Fathers”.

But when anyone says something that meets with the disapproval of leftists, they *demand* from them their equivalent, an empty apology. For them, empty apologies are a form of prayer, and even a sarcastic curse when leveled at a non-believer.

For example, when a Democrat calls Republicans “Nazis”, and becomes an embarrassment because of it, his empty apology will be “I’m sorry that Republicans are Nazis!”

Whether a statement is true or not has no bearing on it being permissible as far as leftists are concerned. Unless it is p.c., it is a confession of sin, as far as they are concerned, and if they cannot coerce a ritual prayer of an empty apology from the “sinner”, from that point on they will curse and damn them.

What's the problem saying he's pissed at paying 60+% of his RIGHTLY earned income to the STATE....

Hell I'm pissed and say it everyday!!

What I find sickening...is he chose to apologize. Pussy!!
