Mark Cuban Calls Out Donald Trump, Says Paying Taxes Is The ‘Patriotic’ Thing To Do
- 8 years ago
Mark Cuban commented on Donald Trump’s 1995 tax situation on Monday via a phone interview with CNN’s ‘New Day.’
Over the weekend, the New York Times reported that, due to the 1995 declaration of $916 million in losses, Donald Trump could have avoided paying income tax for up to 18 years.
On Monday, Mark Cuban spoke about the matter on CNN’s ‘New Day.’
He said of Trump, “After military service, the most patriotic thing you can do as a wealthy person is pay your taxes. That keeps the roads paved, the military paid, and kids going to school, and he obviously doesn't understand that concept."
Cuban also commented that though he, too, has many loopholes at his disposal, he does not take advantage of them.
He again called for greater transparency in the Trump campaign and urged the GOP candidate to make his tax returns available to the public.
