In a shocking blog post entitled “The Most Patriotic Thing You Can Do” , Mark Cuban, the flamboyant billionaire owner of the NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks, declared himself a radical Anti-American Socialist.
Ok..well not really.
What Mark essentially did say however, was that the millionaires and billionaires in our Country should be paying higher taxes, and equated it not to class warfare, but instead patriotism.
“Make a boatload of money. Pay your taxes. Lots of taxes. Hire people. Train people. Pay people. Spend money on rent, equipment, services. Pay more taxes.”
So be Patriotic. Go out there and get rich. Get so obnoxiously rich that when that tax bill comes , your first thought will be to choke on how big a check you have to write. Your 2nd thought will be “what a great problem to have”, and your 3rd should be a recognition that in paying your taxes you are helping to support millions of Americans that are not as fortunate as you…. While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes. I don’t. I find it Patriotic.”
Whoa someone check this guy’s birth certificate. I bet he doesn’t even own a flag pin.
