Mark Cuban recently paid $275.9 million in taxes to the IRS and supports higher taxes on billionaires, stating that he is proud to pay taxes for the country's benefit. His tax payment resulted from selling the Dallas Mavericks. Cuban, along with Warren Buffett, believes in balanced budgets without cutting crucial jobs. Buffett suggests that if top companies paid taxes like Berkshire Hathaway, Americans would not owe federal taxes. Cuban's stance raises the question of whether lawmakers will heed this call.
