Warren Buffett: Trump ‘Afraid’ To Release Tax Returns

Funny how Liberals despise billionaires except when they endorse a Democrat.

It's not funny, because they don't despise billionaires.

Alongside Hillary Clinton, the billionaire vowed to help drive people to polls for the election.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett on Monday campaigned alongside Democrat Hillary Clinton at a rowdy rally in his home state of Nebraska, where he challenged Republican Donald Trump to release his tax returns and said he would personally drive people to the polls in November.

After delivering a forceful rebuke of Trump’s recent statements about the Muslim parents of a decorated American soldier killed in Iraq, Buffett said he wanted to surprise Clinton and “make a little news” by announcing the launch of a get-out-the vote effort.

“I pledge today that on Election Day, Nov. 8, I will take at least 10 people to the polls who would otherwise have difficulty getting there,” Buffett said.

Buffett also said he was backing a website, Drive2Vote, that would coordinate transportation to cast votes and that he had reserved a trolley that seats 32 people for the same purpose.

“I’m going to be on it all day. I’m going to do selfies, whatever it takes,” Buffett said.

Buffett, a Clinton backer, said his goal is to generate the highest voter turnout in the congressional district that includes Omaha of any in the country. Nebraska is one of just two U.S. states that award electoral votes in presidential elections by congressional district. Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway <BRKa.N> conglomerate is based in Omaha, stressed that this gives power to Omaha residents to affect the outcome of the election.

Clinton responded to Buffett’s pledge with a promise of her own, if his turnout goal is met.

“Warren and I will dance in the streets of Omaha together! Maybe if we’re really lucky he’ll wear his Elvis costume again!” Clinton said.

Buffett earlier challenged Trump to release his tax returns, something that presidential candidates typically do. The New York businessman has said he cannot do so until the Internal Revenue Service has completed an audit.

“Now I’ve got news for him,” Buffett said. “I’m under audit, too, and I would be delighted to meet him anyplace, anytime, before the election.

“I’ll bring my tax return, he can bring his tax return ... and let people ask us questions about the items that are on there,” Buffett added, saying Trump was “afraid” not of the IRS but voters.

Thank you, Mr. Buffett. I agree that Trump is afraid to release his tax returns. Will not happen.

Broad, generalized statements such as this are meaningless in the discourse concerning Mr. Trump, or pretty much anything else for that matter.

As Bloomberg and Cuban (plus Larry Kudrow) have noted, maybe Trump doesn't want to release his tax returns because it would show that he has vastly overstated his net worth.
