The IRS favors the Richest - THE REAL SCANDAL

WHY HAVE THE CARL ROVE ORGANIZATIONS NOT BEEN TARGETED BY THE IRS?  BECAUSE THEY HAVE WEALTHY DONORS AND TOP LAWYERS to fend off the IRS.

For all the outcry about targeting by ideology, IRS has for years unfairly favored a different group: the rich.

This has precedent within other parts of the IRS. According to data from the  Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University, IRS audits of the largest and richest corporations have  steadily declined since 2005, down 22 percent in the ensuing four years and  even more from 2011-2013. In the same period, the agency accelerated its scrutiny of small and midsize corporations. Since 2000, the IRS has been more likely to  audit the working poor, individuals and families making under $25,000 a year, than those making over $100,000 annually. The middle class received  disproportionately more auditsthroughout the past decade as well. An IRS unit formed in 2009 called the Global High Wealth Industry Group, designed to give special attention to tax compliance of high-wealth individuals, performed  exactly two audits in 2010 and 11 in 2011.
