Hereā€™s another bet - wager that KPMG is not exactly happy with this! They pay Mickelson a pantload of money in sponsorship!

Oh those mendacious shoe-button eyes. Never liked him, and after he got infuriated when CA governor encouraged voters to raise taxes to close our deficit, I lost all respect for him. His ethics are pretty repulsive.

Couldnā€™t agree more. The guy makes a boat load of money and whines like Mitt romney because he has to pay taxes. Poor baby.

How DARE you raise taxes on my illegally obtained money! Whatever happened to America! And the freedom to rip off the little guy! Waahhā€¦

What a lousy human being.

Iā€™m getting very tired of hearing how the obscenely rich spend their money. Balmer spending $2 billion for the Clippers, hedge fund managers trying to buy elections in Oregon, the wedding (more like corporate merger) of Kimye - all while the politician they have purchased previously are starving kids and the unemployed.

Back in the 1930s the very rich were frightened of a revolution - as much as they hated FDR as ā€˜a traitor to his classā€™ the New Deal saved their bacon. If something similar doesnā€™t happen soon Iā€™m up for torches and pitchforks.

He is the recipient of everything this country has to offer, an upscale childhood and wanted for nothing. Heā€™s made a huge amount of money hitting a ball with a stick and he hates having to pay his fair share in taxes. Karmaā€™s a bitch, aint it?

KPMG must be so proud. Mickelson is a whiny jerk.

Typical right-wing jackass ā€“ whines and lies about his taxes, all while gaming the system to enrich himself. Hope he goes to jail.

me, too. It is disappointing when a guilty verdict in these kinds of cases results only in fines. Losing a little money doesnā€™t really have that negative an impact on those with obscene amounts of $$$. Jail time for ā€œeliteā€ scammers might be a true disincentive.

Seems like a lot of trouble just to remove grass stains.

you are talking about golden boy, the sports media will blame the govā€™t. I wonder what that hack analyst Chamblee will say about mickelsons character - nothing.
