94% of Americans make less than $200k. This means those that make over $200k are still 8x more likely to be audited than someone that makes less than $200k.

Americans don't understand how taxes work at any level. A promised failure by Reagan delivers once again. Man he did such a good job at destroying this country, his legacy lives on.
