By the way ... Phil Mickelson earned over $60 million in 2012

That the was the second highest earnings of all American athletes according to Sports Illustrated. The number is based on salary, winnings, bonuses, endorsements and appearance fees.

His net worth is estimated to be $180 million.

Whining about taxes? What a douchebag.

not curing cancer.
not curing AIDS
not ending war and oppression in Africa
not developing a tech that thwarts climate change

No. None of that. He got $60 million to travel to plush country clubs and play fucking golf for a living.
