O.K. I am not sure if you are just messing with me, you have a very loose grip on the English language, your reading comprehension is terrible or if you are just flat out stupid.

The phrase in the English language "For all we know...." means "it is not yet known but it is possible". When I say "For all we know there could be 10 people and they make $XXX per year..." I am saying that it is possible. I am not claiming their incomes were actually that high. Only an idiot of incredible magnitude would claim as absolute fact a statistic about a group of unknown people with no evidence what so ever to back up their claim.

What I meant is that without a deeper understanding of the exact metrics we can't tell.

There may have only been 10 people who donated to those 3 groups and one got audited. In this case, it would be very stupid for conservatives to point to this case as an example of the evil of Obama. There are many better examples out there.
There may be a lot more than 10 people and a large group of middle income people got audited. In this case we need to look at other aspects of the numbers which may provide an explanation. If all other aspects of the statistics are analyzed and there is still no obvious reason for the higher number of audits then it would be right to say that the Obama administration targeted these people because they were on the lists.

Without more information, a person would be very stupid to make definitive, objective statements in regard to the audits.

If you copy and paste the .64% audit rate....20 times as high..blah blah blah..information again I will know once and for all that you are just messing with me. No one could actually operate a computer while being that stupid.

you have no proof that their incomes were that high. i read about these people . they were average middle class Americans who were just trying to form tax exempt groups to engage in the political process. if they were so wealthy then they could have still participated instead of disbanding after the IRS rejected their tax exempt status. they were not wealthy. The IRS tyrannically rejected their applications (crime 1) , crime 2: endlessly harassed and interrogated these groups , crime 3 kept their “donor” or member lists illegally, , crime 4 audited the members on this list because they called themselves tea party groups

rate of audit is .64% for up to $100,000 /year incomes.
IRS audited tea party groups at 10% almost 20 times the
rate of audit,. rate of audit was 20 times what it should be for these average Americans . very unlikely these tea party people were rich as you say or even over $100,000k per year as you say you.

plus all of these people audited were from lists the IRS demanded of the already oppressed tea party groups. yeah sure the IRS would already commit one crime denying them their tax exempt status , then harassing them and then they become saints and don’t also audit them.bs. just them having that donor list is illegal much less auditing the members on that list as the IRS did for political reasons which is tyranny

doing a lot of spinning and covering up for Obama and the IRS aren’t you

Lists that turned up at random then were reviewed by Congress.

The GOP is not yet drama queeny like the Democrats are. I’d not expect the GOP to holler “Ten Percent!” based on a list of ten people. They are too sensible.
