Cool move from Buffett after Wall Street Journal editorial page calls for him to disclose his tax return. Buffett dares Rupert Murdoch, publisher of the Journal, to meet him at Fortune mag with his tax return. If Murdoch shows up, Fortune will publish both his and Buffett's.

Would anyone care to place odds on Murdoch agreeing to publish his tax return?

Saint Warren

Why should Murdoch produce his tax return? Just because Saint Warren challenges him to do so?

Is Rupert Murdoch personally

Is Rupert Murdoch personally telling people what to do with their own money like Buffett is?

Buffett/Murdoch

I'm not a fan of Murdoch, but he isn't the one volunteering other people's money to the US Gov't. in this case; Buffett is. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Murdoch were on some other government gravy train (as is Buffett).

Still love your blog, though

The odds

are zero. Snakes in the grass don't apply the same standards to themselves that they apply to others.

I love how mad it makes certain segments of the business community when Buffett calls for higher taxes.
He's the best player to ever play the game, the king of the mountain, and he just won't go along with the idea that greed is good no matter what the cost. He's selling us out!

They can't really argue with him on the merits because he's smarter and more successful than anyone else, so
they have to twist themselves into some impressive logical contortions to try and discredit his argument. It would be more entertaining if the stakes weren't so high.
