Mark Cuban

What? There is a big difference...I'm not asking my government to fund half of my business and then turning around speaking negatively of it. Guaranteed he's paid more than me as a tax debtor, but guaranteed he's received more than me as a tax beneficiary. I'd be surprised if his tax burden was MORE than his tax benefits.

And tell me again how the US govt. is funding half of his business.

Never mind...

He didn't say the US govt is funding his business. Most stadiums are built with taxpayer money. The team owner is basically given the facility to operate at his or her leisure. Because taxpayers are funding the arenas, the owner is, in essence, sucking at the tit of the taxpayer and being assisted by the taxpayer.

They should shoot them all....and all the elected officials that approve of this.

Oh, wait, W did that too as an owner of the Rangers. My fault, it's ok since W is a conservative.

Yes but whats the point. Those are determined by supply & demand. Swear him in, make a speach, have one reasonable party/ball, be done with it.

There was no point. I just knew it. I agree with you one ball thing. The prez isnt a damn king.

I didn't say US government...it's sales taxes. It's the same thing...different entity. He'snot all workedup about that, now is he?

And tell me how the US Govt is funding the balls and tell me how this election's balls are any different than previous elections?

LOL! Did he get the Ballpark at Arlington or had he already become Governor and sold the Rangers when that happened?

Plus, George is generous with tax payers money, so in essence he's giving back! Just kidding...

Why anyone votes themself a tax is beyond me...

I'm sure he was negotiating it. As for why anyone votes theselves a tax...people are stupid. It's that simple.

No... please continue. You have enlightened me so.

I know you didn't say US govt. I know whatever county that Dallas is in is the govt that provided the tax incentives for his arena. That county is not shelling out for the ball so why would he be railing against them? I know how stadiums are built, I pay taxes that cover the cost of a few of them myself.

I also know the US govt is not funding this ball, primarily contributions are.

I couldn't tell you how it's different from any others because it is insignificant to me.

All I said was who cares what Cuban is saying. Obviously you do and for that I apologize. Have a nice day.
