Trump won't release his tax returns. Not only will it show that he is not as rich as he claims and actually is worth about 10.75 billion dollars less than he claims, that he pays little or no taxes through all kinds of kabuki tax theater, but that he is a skinflint and a grifter who lives off of other people's money.
