What'd Mark Cuban say on Bill Maher July 15th?

[jmdrake]

bump, anyone watch the show and can tell me what he said?

anyway, thanks for the insight guys In the short clip i saw it looked like him and Maher laughing so i was thinking maybe he turned to the darkside.


P.S. I like Maher, he's a funny dude and snarky but he has no clue about personal freedom

And that's a good reason for someone who does know about freedom to go on his show. It's about educating the audience.

Does anyone have a video of the episode? I enjoy Maher's show, even though his lack of understanding of economics is utterly frustrating.

Yeah I like the show, but hes too regressive.

I haven't found the episode yet, but here's some short clips that have made their way onto the tubes.









Cuban is swimming in a sea of economic ignorance here.

Im quickly reminded why I don't watch 99% of TV shows that claim to be intelligent.

I keep it to sports and brain dead shows like Jersey Shore to satisfy my vegetative requirements.

Look at how Savage and the woman reflexively move their coffee cups when Cuban knocks his over.

Whats a good rebuttal to their claim? Does it have any truth to it?

Revenue did not collapse until Obama took over. Under Bush tax revenue as a % of GDP was at all time highs(only Clinton had more on average), it was not until the unemployment rate skyrocketed and Obama passed the stimulus(which contained some smaller tax cuts) that revenue dropped to low levels. However, most journalists, leftists, and ordinary people have no idea what the difference between marginal and effective tax rates are, and have no understanding of history; thus, you get the myth of low taxes.

Read the numbers at the bottom and you'll see how much people pay in state, federal, and local combined.

The FR and the value of the dollar. Inflation is a tax.

lol @ the lady who was saying that facebook is improving the economy

As far as taxes, it is spending that is important to look at. We get taxed for it one way or another.

The taxes

I think they may be talking top marginal rates. So, technically this is true. However, I think back when the top marginal rate was 70% or somesuch, almost nobody paid it. The problem is that inflation has put many wage earners in reach of the top marginal rate.

FYI, Reason Magazine's Nick Gillespie will be on the show Friday.

I'll be on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher this Friday at 10PM ET, talking about Reason, The Declaration of Independents, and more with guests Ben Affleck, Donna Brazile, and John Turturro. The episode will be re-broadcast at 11PM ET and several more times during the rest of the week.

Taxes have never been lower for cretins who've never paid Federal Income Tax in their lives. LOL

Cuban didn't seem to really work any liberatarian angles from the clips i ended up seeing. In fact he was talking about eliminating the the corporate jet tax loophole, and then raising taxes to balance the budget.... i only caught a couple 1 minutes clips so i may have completely misinterpreted what he said.

Christ they need someone with half a brain on that show discussing economics. Thomas Woods would eat these kids for breakfast. Cuban essentially folded and said he'd pay more taxes.

Yeah, I'd love to see someone like Tom Woods or Peter Schiff on there.
It seems they always have these "token" conservatives on there that don't know how to defend any of their positions.
