Looks like Warren Buffet isn’t the only billionaire with a social conscience.

Cuban’s post comes on the heels of Obama’s "combative" deficit reduction speech, which includes a "Buffett Rule" tax on American millionaires and billionaires.

The Nation‘s Katrina vanden Heuvel praised Obama’s shift in strategy on The Ed Show last night, adding that "the majority of Americans are on his side."
