BloggeRhythms 1/23/2013

In a short article in Daily Mail’s, Mail on-line, “Tiger Woods said today that the reason he left California in the mid-Nineties was because the state's taxes were too high.”
 
During a press conference at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California, Woods said: “I moved out of here back in ’96 for that reason.”
 
Now, I don’t know if the trend will continue of high-profile high-earners speaking out more often, but I sense they likely will because the press is finally beginning to take notice. Even though it’s not yet the main stream media in the U.S. 
 
But what the celebrity reaction to tax issues means to me is, more and more of the public, especially those who don’t care about politics or read any kind of fine print about government at all, will probably pay some attention to this particular subject now that names they know, admire, respect and adore are coming forward. 
 
And as more of that happens, I think public negativity will begin to snowball. Especially when every-day folks start to learn more about where the tax dollars already collected have gone. How they’ve been misspent, wasted, outright lost or unaccounted for while arrogant, spoiled, unqualified, incompetent politicians scream for more from those who earned it. 
 
So, while the administration continues down the wrong economic paths in almost all cases, at least there’s a better chance now that their financial fuel supply from increasing taxes might finally begin to shut off. 
 
That's it for today folks.
 
Adios
