Those rich a-holes talk like this all the time. He was just yammering after a game and forgot who his audiance was. Oh, and you gotta love the ridiculous claim that he pays "63%" in taxes. What a lying douchebag.

"If you add up all the federal and you look at the disability and the unemployment and the Social Security and the state, my tax rate's 62, 63 percent," Mickelson said. "So I've got to make some decisions on what I'm going to do."
