Phil Mickelson Faces 61 Percent Tax Rate Following Back-To-Back Wins

[leadhead]

My grandfather recently passed and he had maybe 5-6 million GBP in assets and cash. He worked his whole life, even still doing 9-5 work at one of his guest houses for the hell of it, as he didn't need to lift a finger really.

He was very careful with his money, and funded a lot of the family through university, so we wouldn't have to get student loans etc, was overall very good with money.

Paid taxes all his life, and invested in properties/business etc so his family would be taken care of when he goes..........he would turn in his grave if he saw how much of the estate we had to pay the government in 'inheritance tax' WTF??


EVERY PENNY OF THAT ESTATE HAD BEEN TAXED WHILE HE WAS ALIVE DAMMIT 

He should've started a trust and shelter if from a higher tax rate. It's complete BS for the government to double dip into citizen's pockets with 'inheritance tax'. Damn liberals

California is a politically fucked up state, they think raising taxes fixes shit...it doesn't, it makes things worse. People are leaving this state solely because of liberal policy because they can't do simple math.

Why don't you stop complaining and just leave

You'd obviously be much happier and wouldn't need to spend your time complaining (so much)

United Socialist America.


61%
That's serious. I don't think we pay that much even in Finland and we have 'free' education from kindergarten to doctorship, food for every kid in school, health care, pensions, AAA-rating and what fukin' not.
But U.S.A. has bombs on the other hand.
Every nation decides how it wants to use the tax money.

Just got back from Finland. Nice country. Your economy is tanking though. Nokia subs to China and the paper/wood industry is now based in South America and China. Taxes you know.

The VTT, the national scientific research foundation, has been given the task by the Finnish government of turning the economy around through advanced tech. But before that happens, the Russians will buy up every last bit of land because they can, lol. They already are buying all the promising high tech companies through Rusnano.

And after talking to a number of people there, the health care system is minimal. If you want good doctors, you pay extra, This from the head of research at VTT.

Still, I like Finland and its people. Midsummers was crazy!

What country are you from?  You do realize that the rich guy already has enough money and doesn't have to provide you with a job anymore when he decides to fold his company and not pay taxes anymore.   

no problem you tax his bank accounts at the same rate and if he dares offshoring his money seize all his accounts and give it to the people.

the answer is tax the rich pull their passports and tax all conservative fund raising groups at 90 percent.

thats whats so great about taxing rich ppl it evens the playing field but only by a fraction he still is wealthier than 99.5 percent of CA residents.

Silly liberal words.  Why not just take everything you earn too?  Even if you took 100% of the top income earners wages you wouldn't make a dent in the deficit.

So then, what to do?  Why not just take everything everybody makes (except the societal leeches)?  Compared to some worthless sod you are rich, so let's take from your coffers too.

Take Hollyweird's billions.  Film companies, actors, directors, every last one of them.  Take it all from every pro athlete, every corporation from their top exec  on down to the little man that sweeps the floor.

All of it.  Every red cent.  You deserve nothing when compared to some fifth world slumdog.  Take it all and if you dare complain we'll label you a racist or some such nonsense.


Don't just "level the field", turn it to glass.  No one deserves more than anyone else.  All animals are created equal.  Some animals however are more "equal" than others. 

Give it up, young man.  It's not yours anyway.  It belongs to "the people".  You just work for them.

And no, you can't complain about what you would have done to others just because it's being done to you.  Too.

sounds a little low when you look at his take home pay.  with all that money he should be more than greatful to pay for the police who protect him from crime.

What about the lazy folks who don't want to work who collect govt support each month but protest for trayvon? 
Should he be more than grateful to pay for them?

[Devon97]

As long as lil wayne, jayz, snoop etc. get taxed 61% too I'm happy
