Boo Says "BOO!" to Obama's "Spread the Wealth"

Boo figures he's already ponying up enough.

...Milton High graduate Boo Weekley said he isn't sure whether he'll follow suit. What happens on Election Night may sway him one way or the other.

"That might be something I look into," said Weekley, who will be heading to Disney World to play in the Children's Miracle Network Classic presented by Wal-Mart starting Thursday. "I'm not 100 percent on what I'm going to do yet.

"If the economy stays the way it is, I'll pack up and head over there (and get joint membership)."

...Weekley earned almost $2.4 million on the PGA Tour in 2008, placing him 25th on the money list. In the current tax system, Weekley estimates that he only sees about half of his winnings.

Obama's tax plan is expected to raise the taxes of families making $2.87 million or more by an average of 11.7 percent according to a study by the Tax Policy Center. If in place in this season, that increase would have cost Weekley an additional $280,000 in earnings alone, not counting endorsements or appearance fees.

Save us a seat on the QE II, will ya, buddy?
