Top performing golfers Phil Michelson and Tiger Woods don't want to pay California's high taxes. Good for them! Woods already left CA to avoid our stupid tax rates and Michelson is thinking of doing the same.

Tiger Woods agrees with Phil Mickelson on taxes - latimes.com

So what if enough high earners leave the state that Prop 30 actually results in decreased tax collections? Will we ever know? Will the state numbers crunchers ever tell us? I doubt it.

Or maybe we can choose not to grovel for the affections of the ridiculously rich. Are we really going to lose sleep over losing great, honorable men like Tiger?

Ol' Phil will have to suffer with the twentysomething-million he netted last year, after taxes. Cry us a f'ing river.

^^^ uh, this ...

Personally, I would love it if every f'ing 10%er left the state ... let alone the 1%ers.
In fact, I suspect the air would improve if the top 20%ers left with them...
In fact, more I ponder on it, the more I think 99% of everybody should leave.

Problem solved.

They are completely tone deaf. I'm perfectly fine for them not only leaving California but the United States as a whole.

Congaratulations to Phil Michelson for speaking common sense truth! Only an idiot would stay in California and pay an extra few million in taxes when they can move to a no income tax state!

They probably found some tax loopholes anyway. I don't know what their motives are, but I doubt they were anywhere close to eating beans out of a can.

So these people are still filthy rich even after taxes. It's not like they aren't going to be able to buy food

Would you listen to these koolaide drinkers. They have swallowed the "let's be envious" class warefare mantra hook-line-and-sinker. If they had to pay 13% state taxes they'd be howling on the steps of the state capitol. But if someone with more talent or brains pays it they say "screw them".

Can hardly believe this is the same America I grew up in.

Kinda like Romney living in CA but keeping his money in the Caymans.

As I have stated many times, and have had those who can't do math react rather violently, The difference between CA tax burden and any other state is no more than 4%

I consider you the kool aid drinker...A pawn of the elite... Falling for that crap... You will happily hand your last dime to the rich.. Wanting to be the peasant serving the aristocrats of medieval Europe..

It is the same country... Consider you are the one who's idealology has changed... Since Reagan and that trickledown crap our country has been imbalanced, the concentration of wealth is alarming and unhealthy...
