Mark Cuban to Trump: Bet Clintons Paid More and Earned More, Release Taxes

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban Twitter bombed Donald Trump Tuesday for not releasing his tax returns, chiding the GOP presidential nominee that Hillary Clinton probably pays more to Uncle Sam than Trump makes in income.

In a barbed six-part volley, the brash businessman and frequent Trump critic argues the Clintons have paid $43 million in taxes since 2007, tweeting he'd wager that's more than the real estate mogul forked over, or pulled in.

1) Lots of people concerned how much money the Clinton's have made. More interesting to me they have paid 43mm IN TAXES since 2007

2) I'd bet the 43mm in TAXES the Clinton's paid is not only more taxes than @realDonaldTrump has paid. I'd bet they made more too

He then declares the Clintons "are much smarter business people and negotiators" — a skill Trump has declared is one of his strongest qualities. 

3) it's not a tough argument looking at their taxes and fec filings that the Clinton's are much smarter business people and negotiators

4) I get offers almost daily (at same $ as clintons) to give speeches Organizations want knowledge and insight. It's a great business

Maybe Trump hasn't released his taxes because Hillary Clinton paid more than Trump made in income, he tweets, winding up the twitter storm with a link to Hillary Clinton's campaign website on her tax returns. 

5) maybe @realDonaldTrump didn't release his taxes become @HillaryClinton paid more in taxes than @realDonaldTrump made in income ?

Trump has said he can't release his returns until the IRS completes an audit. 

On the day Trump accepted the GOP's nomination for president, Cuban shot off a tweet jab as well.

Dear world. Please ignore what the loud guy in the suit is saying. Americans are nothing like him. We love our country and are proud of it
