    You have to pay $800 a year to run an LLC in California. that's not even the taxes, its the "cost of doing business".

    It wasn't quite that long ago, but you have a point.
    I just looked it up, they increased it from $50 to $100 this year.
    Still, $100 isn't a huge amount. If I wanted to start a business, I don't think I'd give up because of the $100 fee.

    But it's been $800 for around 20 years (at least). Hard to believe they haven't increased it.

    I wish I had invented HDTV and could tell people to simply "get rich".

    I actually met Cuban before he was a billionaire.

    He made his money from broadcast.com. Their business was giving radio stations free PCs and realaudio streaming technology in return for some free advertising.

    He didn't invent HDTV. He was a really rich guy who could afford to make a hobby of doing what he wanted in the space and did.

    I don't consider myself a very patriotic person, but I think the most patriotic thing you can do for your country is to serve in the military. Which I did!

    Cuban should be posting here instead of his blog!
