Now multi-billionaire Warren Buffet challenges Trump: If you show me your tax returns,

I'll show you mine.

Buffet says Trump is "afraid" of people finding out what's in there. Of course he is. And it can't be said often enough.

Buffet feels so strongly about the importance of voting that he's arranging for transportation to take Nebraska voters to vote -- and he's going to be on the vehicle, taking selfies with voters.

Business magnate Warren Buffett took on Donald Trump over his refusal to release his tax returns -- issuing the real estate mogul a challenge to put his cards on the table.

Speaking at a Hillary Clinton rally in Omaha, Nebraska today, the multi-billionaire joked he would meet Trump "any place, any time between now and election" to go over each other's tax returns. The GOP nominee has claimed that he can't release his tax returns because he is being audited.

"Now I've got news for him, I'm under audit too," Buffett said. "There are no rules against showing your tax returns and just let people ask us questions about the items that are on there."

Buffett instead suggested that Trump is withholding his tax returns intentionally.

"You're only afraid if you've got something to be afraid about," he told to the crowd. "He's not afraid of the IRS. He's afraid because of you."

I'm sure his politics and mine are not the same and yet the man speaks the proper priorities with maintaining a healthy democracy.

It's about turnout and participation. I also loved his candor about sacrifice, calling Trump out that being a Billionaire is not a burden.
