I'm sure some will just rip him because he makes so much money, but if he really is getting taxed anywhere near the total of over 60%, that's just ridiculous.

These tax rates (that are significantly increasing more than just the rich) are getting to a silly point now.

Tiger Woods said he already moved out of California because the taxes are too high so it makes sense that Phil would be leaving too

Obama needs to focus on realistic things instead of always being in campaign mode. This is a complete waste of time. Over 4 billion a day we go into debt. If we taxed 100% of billionaires and millionaires income we wouldnt cover Obamas spending. Not to mention all those people the billionaires and millionaires would lose there job because 100% of their income would go to taxes so no money for payroll. That would probably make the 4 billion go up a couple billion to cover there unemployment.
People that are bad at math just do not understand that this man is trying his best to destroy the United States for everything it is worth.

Did you read the article? It's not about paying taxes, it's about the rate. If he's getting anywhere close to taxed as much as he says he is, that isn't fair.

What if he's paying 45-50%? That's still ridiculous.

but as long as he still brings home more than me, he is able to pay more in taxes. It isn't fair that he gets things I don't.

I wouldn't live in California if my life depended on it (no offense to Californians, you're all wonderful people).

then get a better job or two or find a way to make more money. fair does not mean we are all equal financially.
