Billionaire Mark Cuban had harsh words for progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren and her calls to tax the rich during an appearance at Vox Media’s Code Conference.
Cuban, who has an estimated personal fortune of $4.6 billion, laid into Warren (D-Mass.) over her frequent calls for higher taxes on him, Elon Musk and other wealthy Americans. The liberal lawmaker has long argued that billionaires don’t pay their fair share in taxes.
“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 prospect,” Cuban said when asked about the Democrat-led push for tax hikes.
“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,” Cuban added.

Cuban previously ripped Warren during an October 2021 appearance on Fox Business Network while discussing calls by some Democrats for a new tax for unrealized gains on investments. The “Shark Tank” star and owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks described the proposal as a “disaster.”
“I don’t think Elizabeth Warren knows at all what she’s talking about when she deals with this,” Cuban said at the time. “I think she just likes to demonize people that are wealthy and that’s fine.”
“It’s a great political move for her, but I just don’t think that they really understand the implications of taxing unrealized gains,” he continued.

The Buffet Rule is not going to improve your life one bit.
Well not literally I hope. But he's right.
Cuban may even believe his own propaganda.
Like so many super-wealthy, they play liberals on TV, because they know how the winds blow in US politics and media.
MC is a grandstanding prick. He’ll cave when the libs start to take away their love.
Hey Cuban...... You support libs.... GFYS douchebag.
He’s doin’ a wink wink.
...calls by some Democrats for a new tax for unrealized gains on investments

This would be a disaster. You can bet, if ever implemented, the greedy leftists would apply it to more and more unrealized cap gains.
Imagine the house you’re in, if you purchased it when it was $100K and thru inflation it’s now $1M, and FedGov demands a tax on the house. Year after year. Got a spare $100K lying around? You don’t? Sorry. Government then confiscates the house for payment.
Grey Beaver not know what she speaks.
Gee, who would have thought supporting worthless POS communist collectivists would have a down side... dumbass.
I propose that all politicians pay a 99% tax on all income earned outside of their official incomes and then 99% of all such income if they also accept a government pension.
No one should get rich by running for office.
How ‘bout they screw each other?
