Golf Pro to Leave California Due to High Taxes

The Christian Science Monitor has published a sory about Golf Pro Phil Mickelson who is hinting at a move away from California, perhaps the United States and maybe even away from golf as he seeks to escape punitive tax rates.

"It's been an interesting offseason," Mickelson said Sunday after the final round of the Humana Challenge. "And I'm going to have to make some drastic changes. I'm not going to jump the gun and do it right away, but I will be making some drastic changes."

The 42-year-old said he would talk in more detail about his plans before his hometown Farmers Insurance Open, the San Diego-area event that starts Thursday at Torrey Pines.

"I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to do yet," Mickelson said. "I'll probably talk about it more in depth next week. I'm not going to jump the gun, but there are going to be some. There are going to be some drastic changes for me because I happen to be in that zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state and it doesn't work for me right now."

In November, California voters approved the first statewide tax increase since 2004. Mickelson lives in Rancho Santa Fe.

"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," Mickelson said. "So I've got to make some decisions on what I'm going to do."

Last year, Mickelson flirted with becoming a part owner of the San Diego Padres, the baseball team that sold for $800 million in August. He was asked Sunday if there was a correlation between the tax increases and what happened to the Padres' deal.

"Absolutely," Mickelson said.

Hilliary Clinton's Benghazi Testimony

"There are four dead Americans..........at this point, what difference does it make (how they died)?"

Well, Madame Sectretary, it makes a butt load of difference!!

Your failed management of the State Department,........ ......ignoring cables from Ambassador Stevens that would have alerted you to a constantly degraded safety environment for American employees and begging for more security,........you not doing whatever you could to get a rescue response when the terrorist action started,...... and no one believes that the U.S. government, from the President through the SecDef to you, did not know within the first hour of the attack that it was not terrorists,.............

Yet you and your U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice lied about the attacks and the cause. We fully expect the President and his propaganda staff and the lame stream media to lie as they have done on a daily basis the last four years, but to have you, Madame Secretary, lie about Benghazi makes you look arrogant and incompetent.

Oh,..the fake crying over the deaths of Americans?.....good try but you are not fooling anyone.

Senator Rand Paul said it best...."Had I been President and found out that you did not read the cables from your Ambassador, I would have relieved you from your post."

They Lied to Us About the Sandy Hook School Shooting

It is getting VERY tiresome being lied to by the Government and the Media. Watch and read this and ask yourself if you too are tired of these lies and what the ultimate purpose of them may be.

So they finally had to come out and admit it, now that the Coroner has released some info along with Police. An AR-15 Rifle or the so-called "Assault Weapon" was not used in the school shooting.

Repeat, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting where 20 children and six adults were massacred was not done with an AR-15 type rifles,....

The shooter (we won't even use his despicable name) even tried weeks earlier to buy a rifle but was turned down in the background check. So he had to kill his Mother to steal her rifle. There were initial reports right after the shooting, that Police found the AR-15 Rifle in his car, NOT IN THE SCHOOL. But the media and left sing anti-gun politicans focused on the AR-15 rifle.....because it suited their agenda. Remember the Obama Administration creed of "Not letting a good crisis go to waste."

Again, a Rifle was not used. The Shooter went into the school with 4 handguns. Not an Assault Rifle as the media has charged. Remember in the initial hours of this shooting, the Police said they found the Rifle in the car. But the News Media had a Pre-Planned Attack already waiting, to ban so-called assault weapons and jumped on that line of reporting, knowing it was a lie. Including people like Piers Morgan who said the shooter used an AR-15 that shoots hundreds of rounds per minute, as if it were a machine gun.

Could it be that the Democrat Liberals and the Media were pushing for the new law, hoping they could do it, before the Coroner released the info. I'm betting on it. Look at what Governor-Dictator Cuomo did in New York.
