I think it happens too much, but not as much as people think - there are honest politicians out there.
I wouldnt have said that either Clinton is one of them though.

I think you hit the nail squarely on the head.
My personal feeling is that tax exempt status is a privilege granted to those who claim to work for toward goals other than generating revenue, and that the privilege should be balanced with the responsibility of transparency. Non-profits don't need the confidentiality that for-profit businesses do, and only by allowing themselves to be freely audited can they prove that they're truly acting in the interest of someone other than themselves.
