WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Republicans in Congress say billionaire Warren Buffett, an advocate for higher taxes for the rich in the United States, should release his tax returns.
President Obama has advocated what he calls the "Buffett rule," that the very rich should pay at least as high a rate as those with less money. Buffett publicly stated that he pays at a lower rate than his secretary and urged higher taxes on the "mega-rich."
