Unlike some here, I see your point. But an audit rate of 10% of any given population is still pretty high.
what are the chances that 10% of the people on 3 small lists are audited. not much . this is tyranny
The IRS is supposed to RANDOMLY audit people after they completed their tax return. this was not random . the IRS audited those people because they were on the “donor” lists that the IRS asked tea party groups for. these were grass roots groups trying to form
From http://www.cnbc.com/id/101580865/
“10.9 percent of people making $1 million or more were audited.”
In other words, it’s probably not 11 to 1 (10/0.9) over auditing of Tea Party DONORS, but something significantly less.
