In an interview, which was broadcast by CNBC, Cuban said that he doesn’t really mind being taxed, calling it “patriotic.” He just doesn’t like the fact that Warren singles out the über-wealthy like him, Elon Musk, and other billionaires for punishment by taxation:
“I don’t mind being taxed more. I wrote a blog 20 years ago saying it’s the most patriotic thing you can do, after military service, is pay your taxes, because that’s what allows everybody to live and to prosper.”
“But yeah, the idea of ‘soak the rich,’ billionaire tears that fill that cup — screw you, Elizabeth Warren. You’re everything that’s wrong with politics.”
At least he said “screw you.” Mark Cuban is a rather outspoken guy, and his comments could’ve been a bit more dicey if you know what I mean.
