    Nope.

    My comment was in response to Huntsman27’s rhetorical question about his taxes going down proportionally.

    Sometimes things should be so sarcastic as to not need an emoji to clarify the point. 😎

    If an $18 hourly minimum wage brought taxes down 10%, why not make it $25 an hour and decrease our taxes even more…. 🤣

      Cuban has been educated beyond his intelligence.
      He also believes in taxing the rich at a higher percentage, but he's **** sure not volunteering

        Well he is a Russian. Chabenisky before the family changed it's name. Maybe there's something in his DNA.

          He's a free market guy.......let him pay his bathroom cleaners $50 per hour if he wants to but don't mandate anybody else to......the good workers will go to where the pay is best and the places where the pay is best will only keep good workers and as such the business should do better if the profit margins in the business support it. Buccee's is a prime example of why a "minimum" wage law isn't necessary. Every business should set their own salary scale and the labor will work itself out.....unless he's highly invested in robotics and pricing his investments into place with displaced hourly workers......Ross Perot figured it out with EDS, pay workers good, treat them very good and you get top notch workers competing to go to work there and great retention of your talent. Southwest Airlines used to understand this......

            I didn’t realize he was of Russian Jewish descent. So his family fled here to escape Marxist policies and regime. He maximizes the American dream, only to turn around and promote similar Marxist policies. Failed to learn from his ancestors history and good times make soft men all wrapped up into 1 personality!

                  Surely you’re not suggesting that Mr. Cuban’s world view is shaped by his own interests? Surely not?

                      He made too much sense for people to understand, sadly his running got us Bill Clinton.

                        These people lose sight.......if he is that passionate about it then pay his workers more, don't force mom and pops a wage point that is unsustainable to their business........one would think he has enough business sense to see all the help wanted signs out there as it is and if a business has to fill these spots they must have a competitive wage, which is their choice to do so or not and the government has no business being in their business but government does nothing but destroy businesses with regulations, taxes, fees and in this case mandates......

                          But really was Bush any better of a choice than Clinton?

                          im not sure we have had a free election since he lost in 1992. In light of what we know now it really bring into question the “hanging chads” in Florida and overall ballot integrity of the Bush/Gore election. And explains how we got a Jr senator from Illinois in 2008. Trump in 2016 was a blip. They were too arrogant to think for a minute that he could be Hillary so they didn’t take appropriate counter measures….

                          i guess what I am saying is Perot may have been our actual missed chance to save the republic way back in the 90s… and my parents and a lot of other well meaning Rs were duped into voting Bush because voting Perot would give Clinton the election.

                            Several studies after the 92 election indicated that Perot drew votes equally from Bush 41 and Slick Willie.

                            Many political scientists now recognize that Ross Perot’s independent candidacy did not spoil the 1992 presidential election for Republican President George H.W. Bush, yet few comprehensive quantit…

                              There is no chance under the current Constitution for a third party candidate to win. At best the candidate can cause no one to get the required votes and then the third party is out.

                              Perot nor anyone else can do anything as an “also ran” candidate except possibly upset the likely Democrat or Republican winner.

                                If neither Trump no Biden gets 270 then the next president will be selected by the house. This will tell us who the real RINOS are. Even more strange is the VP is then selcted by the senate. If the votes go along party lines it's possible that Trump could be President and Harris still the VP. How crazy is that?
