This guy is. Meet Mark Cuban, he's an internet multi millionaire and he's the owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks. Oh yeah, and he's a giant asshole as well.And no it's not because he made the movie Redacted, the one that O'Reilly hates so much, it's because I saw him on Bill Maher's show the other night and he was going on about how if you keep trying to make corporations economically more responsible, i. e. pay more taxes, then there's going to be hell to pay and they'll just shut down here and move their offices to places where they won't be taxed as much. I nearly put my foot through the TV screen and in his smug face when I heard him saying that shit. He's just another in a long line of people who got rich in the corporate world and who then goes on to defend the reprehensible behavior of all the money grubbing greedy ass corporations.
He realized what a giant asshole he sounded like a second or two later when he said if you want to tax CEO pay then that was fine with him but if you tax corporate earnings then you're playing with fire and you'll get burned chump. Fuck him and fuck the greedy corporations, let's tax them to death and tax the men and women who run them as well.
Mark Cuban, you are a giant gaping asshole and you need to have your wealth confiscated so it can be redistributed to the poor and the working people of this country.

Burn him!
I thought Mahr's panel was as far right as I have seen on the show. In fact they put me to sleep.
These people love to play the fear card, don't they? It's how they try to exert power over the little guy. But he's insulting our intelligence. Most idiots know what "outsourcing" means for Christ's sake.
Ack! I missed Bill Maher! Maybe I can catch the rerun. Mark Cuban sounds like a treasure. Let's bury him.
cuban is a royal ass -- always has been and always will be
i cannot watch him, despite the fact he is a dem (or so he says)
We should pity poor Mr. Cuban. Despite all his wealth, he clearly is still uncomfortable with the fact that he's losing his hair. Nice comb-over, or comb-forward, don't you think?
Once upon a time, for instance in the 1950s (the time that conservatives like to call America's Golden Age) corporations carried a vastly larger portion of the tax burden, as did the wealthy. Funny, we had a lot more money for schools and social programs back then than we do now, people were able to support an entire family on one income and they worked less. Actually, it seems to me that a truly progressive income tax that hammered the wealthy would work just fine, as long as they can't get away with hiding their wealth in, ummm... corporations. There would be no incentive for corporations to behave in a selfish and greedy manner if they couldn't keep the money. Oops! I guess I'm sounding like someone who hates success. My bad. Numerous other countries seem to manage to keep their corporations from exhibiting the same form of run-away greed without having them shut down and moving "overseas," why couldn't it work here? And if they do shut down and move overseas, why not tax the piss out of them when they want to turn around and do business in ther former home country? China taxes US goods entering their country, the opposite could be done. Dang! Then I might have to pay more for that Pocket Fisherman™ - forget it!
no_slappz: You wrote... "What is a corporation?" Dude, I think you need to get a girlfriend, or maybe a boyfriend. I haven't seen you around much lately - maybe you've found that girlfriend or boyfriend after all! How the hell are you? I've missed you! Peace, brother or sister.
Barb-If only that were a real option.
Wandering-Yeah they love to see us cowering in fear. Me, I've had all the shit from them I intend to take.
Dr. Z-Great idea!
Dcap-He's a Democrat just like Joe Liberman is.
Ed-I'm glad you got my point. I deleted Slappy Boi's comment because he obviously didn't get it. Thanks for weighing in.
Nice call, Dr. I saw the show and I couldn't agree more.
It's especially hard to look like a tool when you're sitting 3 ft. from Tony Snow, but he managed.
Vikki-Always a pleasure to be backed up by one so smart and discerning as you my dear.
The only reasons this guy hasn't been beaten up on the streets of Dallas are that, well, (a) he never walks, only limo-rides for him, and (b) he dumped the old idiot Mavs front office and dippy logo and got lucky on some draft picks thanks to Don Nelson. Otherwise, the guy is a complete dick who only got rich by slobbering on the corporate penis. You expect him to bite it off now? Not a chance.
Besides all that, dude can't dance. He should have been first to get kicked off Dancing with the Stars.
