He should be happy he took home what he did, all he does is play golf.

I just got a haircut the other day!

And, no, I think that when people make a lot of money, they should be taxed their fair share, and 61% is not fair.

Total US spending across all branches of government is 6.2 Trillion. With a population of 310 million, everyone's fair share is about $20,000 per person.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Forbes estimates he will take home $842,700
Daww, my heart bleeds for him :nono:
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Doesn't work like that.
How can a six-month old orphan baby pay $20,000? How can someone in prison pay $20,000? How can an ex-soldier, with his legs blown off and no job, pay $20,000?

So some people have to pay more, to cover what other people can't pay. And it makes sense to take it from the richest, rather than the poorest, because it hits them the least, and the poor haven't got it, anyway.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Well, he's got to pay off a range of people first. His caddy will probably get 10%, and there's his coach, manager, etc. Presumably he only pays tax on the net earnings.

Anyway, like most top sports people, he earns far more from endorsements than prize money.

He could move to Florida. IIRC, a lot of top golfers and tennis players reside in Florida because the tax there is low compared to other states/countries.

Well duh, I was just offering a basis to work from.

And you think he "earned" that money? He played golf. Cry me a river.

That's not what you wrote though. You said "everybody's FAIR share". Not everybody's equal share.

My capslock isn't broken, and how do you even define fair? Fair used to mean equal.
