[I got the rope]

When I first started FR I used to blast Dem Senators with letters at least once a week...

...until I was audited by the IRS.

I remember at the time I was only making 50K a year.

Imagine that.

Disgusting, and all it took was a phone call.

A series of Republican and Democrat dominated Congresses passed laws regarding those who claim Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) ~ a total of $50 billion in the national tax package ~ to make sure that they were audited almost every year.

The audit might be done by IRS, or the audit could happen as part of a university audit of eligibility for Pell Grant funds. Well over half of these recipients were audited every year ~ taking up more than 30% of total IRS audit resources.

The other trillions of dollars in federal tax payments were subject to cursory evaluation.

You were just unlucky!
