Buffett urges rich to pay more tax

Updated

Warren Buffett, probably the world's most successful private investor, claims he will donate 15% of his income to help pay down US national debt - if 10% of Congress also agrees to join him.

Buffett says that the current lower rates of tax are unsustainable - particularly the 80,000 very high earners like himself who should, he says, pay more.
