You are dying on an an hill made of data manipulated by new outlets that profit off of your attention. Below is an image from a 2019 GAO report that displays the audit rates with more granularity.
Even your own sources (https://trac.syr.edu/reports/706/ referenced in your Fox Article) with 2022 still show that income greater than 1M is audited at 2.38% vs income <$25K with EITC is at 1.27%. You just keep beating up your own argument.
My statistics do support my statement that the IRS audit rates for the rich are higher than normal people, and in fact higher than the poorest. His statement is, again, incorrect, misleading, and intended to incite anger.
Please ignore my negative initial vote score, as I have the privilege of being bot-downvoted by CCP sympathizers because of comments on this post https://lemmy.world/post/2338419, there is also the possibility that I’m just an asshole.
i don’t see how they can be misleading. the average person understands the difference between rates/percentages and resulting totals.
are you suggesting that the wealthy get audited at such an increased rate so that their total number of audits are the same as normal people? that would require almost 100% of all returns to be audited which is ridiculous.
i’m ok with being wrong and learning, but none what what you suggest is fair or makes any sense
