So what is the IRS for then? Surely you don't think each and every politician is squeaky by the book clean when it comes to taxes, correct? With as much power as members in each branch of Government wield, if you are going to ask the POTUS to make his public, then each and every member of the other branches should as well. What happened to "transparency"?

I agree with you. There should be more oversight because corruption is fairly common and in general more transparency decreases corruption. It would probably be a good idea to have Congress require this of MOC's and senators as well.
