Buffeted.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett on Monday offered up some numbers to contradict Donald Trump’s debate-night claim that the two ultra-wealthy moguls took similar approaches towards tax payments.

… “I have paid federal income tax every year since 1944, when I was 13. (Though, being a slow starter, I owed only $7 in tax that year.) I have copies of all 72 of my returns and none uses a carryforward,” Buffet said.

… “I have been audited by the IRS multiple times and am currently being audited,” Buffett told CNBC. “I have no problem in releasing my tax information while under audit. Neither would Mr. Trump — at least he would have no legal problem.”
