You can hold elected officials to whatever standard you like via your vote on Election Day. You can cherry pick some examples of bad apples all you want but until a law is put in place you have no right to their returns. The fact that the IRS doesn't do their job does not change anything. Feel free to vote for only those candidates that voluntarily release their tax returns.
