Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks Owner: "The wealthy should pay lots of taxes"

[NewJeffCT]

Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, said wealthy Americans should pay "lots of taxes" in a post on his blog on Monday.

Titled "The Most Patriotic Thing You Can Do," the post told readers that wealthy Americans should "do something positive" with their money by hiring, training and paying employees and spending money on rent, equipment and services.

"I don’t care what anyone says. Being rich is a good thing," Cuban wrote. "Not just in the obvious sense of benefiting you and your family, but in the broader sense. Profits are not a zero sum game. The more you make the more of a financial impact you can have."

5. Start the stopwatch

How long until the right wing noise machine points out Cuban is a insane, commie socialist Nazi, treehugger who hates America and that the Mavs are the worst team in the NBA.
