He. doesn't. need. your. prayers. Send money!

Wouldn't he fall under the really.smart.guy. moniker though?

Find a different job or place to call home. He's doing great.

I read that Mickelson's net worth is about $180 million. He is fine.

I came away from reading that thinking:

Who wrote that nonsensical blurb, a fucking fifth-grader who just snorted a few lines of crushed Smarties(TM)?

I can't feel sorry for a guy who netted more in a weekend what most Americans will gross in the next 15 years.

"Henry, last fall, every time your boss got on the stump and said, "It's time for the rich to pay their fair share," I hid under a couch and changed my name. I left Gage Whitney making $400,000 a year, which means I paid 27 times the national average in income tax. I paid my fair share, and the fair share of 26 other people. And I'm happy to, 'cause that's the only way it's gonna work. And it's in my best interest that everybody be able to go to schools and drive on roads. But I don't get 27 votes on Election Day. The fire department doesn't come to my house 27 times faster and the water doesn't come out of my faucet 27 times hotter. The top one percent of wage earners in this country pay for 22 percent of this country. Let's not call them names while they're doing it, is all I'm saying."

Do you feel that is a classist statement?

Yeah, but if she keeps herself in shape and keeps the cooking skills tight, she'll still have a pretty good shot at marrying a rich guy.

She ain't out of the game yet.

It all depends on how you look at things: are you gonna be a wallower, a survivor, or a thriver?

It's all up to each of us to decide, and nobody else.

The net effect is the same on both though. They both pay $1.20. If you want to argue $1.20 is to high, fine. I don't know if it could be set up for better tax breaks if you donated to charity or fund a program like you were talking about the other day. I think things would be better off if they were privately run also.

I think classism and racism go hand in hand. Neither are acceptable because it causes the division that leads to bigger issues. It's a slippery slope, what's too much money? One of the hardest things for my family growing up was being told we can't help you, Father Spaulding makes too much money.

And now sexism...we are going to hit them all this week.

Let's be honest most lower middle class and middle class people hate the poor. Somehow they've been led to believe that they steal more than the rich or that they're somehow holding them back. Very few people hate the rich because they want to be them but most hate the poor.

Anyone trying to justify that level of taxation is off their rocker. It is the confiscation of someone's property. While taxes are necessary to pay for the public good, it is outrageous to take that percentage of someone's earnings. I don't care if someone gets money from a crony job, wins the lottery, or works his butt off practicing and handling the pressure of the British Open, the impact is the same. It's not like the money is going to some great cause. It gets flushed into the big waste hole that is the Federal (and Scottish in this case) and California governments.
