Warren Buffet is not the only wealthy person with both a brain and a heart when it comes to the issue of taxes. Mark Cuban understands that having to pay higher taxes is a great problem to have. Here is his recent statement on the matter.
His advice to others: "Go out there and get rich. Get so obnoxiously rich that when that tax bill comes, your first thought will be to choke on how big a check you have to write," the owner of the Dallas Mavericks wrote recently on blog maverick, the mark cuban weblog. "Your 2nd thought will be 'what a great problem to have,' and your 3rd should be a recognition that in paying your taxes, you are helping to support millions of Americans that are not as fortunate as you."
This statement really says it all. It reminds me of another little quotation: "I aspire to have my estate pay estate taxes when I die."
