[QUOTE="pickup, post: 965545"] How to answer this? I clicked on your link and saw the wikipedia entry for the arena that the mavericks play in. Then I looked up Mark Cuban and saw that at the very least , he bought the Mavericks from Ross Perot after the deal for the arena was done. By hook or crook , Perot got that deal done by financing it through hotel and rental car taxes(taxes on others, I guess it was palatable to the populace as it seemingly mostly affected people visiting the area). By virtue of this, the value of the franchise increased, and Cuban payed for that increase. Perot was the freeloader here. Mark Cuban , not really. Let's look at this way, let's say that a bank gets a bailout that causes the stock to go up in value. A day after the bailout, I come into the market and buy shares of this bank, I didn't really benefit from that bailout. Those who did were those who were already holding the shares when the deal happened. That's the way I look at it. What say you? [/QUOTE]
