Warren Buffett says he will release his tax return if Rupert Murdoch does

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said Tuesday that he would release his tax returns if NewsCorp Chairman Rupert Murdoch does too.

Asked about the Republican requests and Journal editorial, Buffett agreed to turn over the documents, according to Reuters. But he asked that Murdoch return the gesture in kind.

“Ask the Journal’s boss Rupert Murdoch,” he said to Fortune magazine editor Carol Loomis at a conference run by the magazine. “He and I will meet at Fortune. ... I’m ready tomorrow morning.”

Despite Republican jabbing, Buffett doesn't seem particularly bashful about turning over his returns. In fact, he gave a copy of the return to Charlie Rose during an interview last month.

Later at the Fortune conference, Buffett continued to advocate for the tax rule, joking that he had always “dreamed of having a tax named after me.”

As far as I know Murdoch is not running around boasting about his tax situation Buffet is,

Buffet showing his return is a starting point for someone who has waded so publicly into the matter.

CHALLENGING OTHERS is not leadership Mr. Buffett.

Wasn't it Murdoch posing the challenge to Buffett first?

As far as I know Murdoch is not complaining or comparing his tax rates to others.

When you make such claims people will naturally ask for you to "put up".

Murdoch's publication challenged Buffett to make his tax returns public.

People in the news business do these challenges all the time, not sure it's common for the expectation to be that the reporter show his in tax return in kind.

Why don't we just have the FAIR TAX so that billionaires will pay more and no one will have a tax return?

I want to see Murdoch's and O'Reilly's and Limbaugh's tax returns.

I want NO tax returns for everyone.
