Years ago Sir Charles Barkley was disgusted with his tax bite and made noise about running for office.

I was watching the Golf Channels ´Morning Drive´ Program after Phil Mickelson made his tax comments. He received a lot of criticism from the hypocrites who moderate the program. The show originates from Florida and most all of the people working for the station and commenting on the program live in Tax Free Florida. They should shut up and support his right to free speech.

Of course it is frustrating for a talented person who works hard, to resent paying a huge amount of taxes to support people who won´t work and others who don´t belong here. When he moves away, I hope me also moves his charities to a state that appreciates excellence, talent, hard work and good will.

Poster 2 I´m not surprised the morning drive guys were critical of Mickelson´s complaints about high taxes. As of a couple of years ago, the GC became a subsidiary of collectivist NBC. Therefore, the on the air "talent" at the GC may turn left especially as the old guard at the network leaves through attrition and otherwise. Since NBC took over, according to my observation, the GC has become increasingly self-important:

Justice Learned Hand, many decades ago, said that there is nothing wrong with trying to reduce one´s income tax liability.

In fact, one could argue that Phil Mickelson should have done this years ago.
Only a fool would remain a resident of California, especially when he makes most of his income in other states...

Don´t apologize, Tiger. You and Phil have created more jobs than the Obama Administration.
